There are many benefits for both you and your dog to go on walk every day. Here are the top six reasons why this should be a daily activity:
- You get to spend quality time with your dog.
- Both you and your dog get some exercise and fresh air. How many kilojoules you burn will depend on how far and how fast you walk.
- By doing exercise and getting fresh air, both you and your dog will be healthier.
- This is also an ideal training opportunity for your dog to walk on a lead. (But don’t forget to allow him lots of fun time to sniff and use his nose!)
- It has socialisation potential for both of you – you get to meet other pet owners along the way, and your dog learns how to behave around other people and animals.
- Keeping track of the distances will help you monitor your progress, as you might want to walk further, or even faster, to burn some more energy.
