They need physical exercise and are extremely social animals. What dog doesn't like a walk? In addition to serving to relieve itself, there are many benefits that going for a walk regularly has for our pet. First, because you need to relate and, otherwise, you may develop phobias or problems with your environment. Second, because it is very important that you do physical activities and walks help maintain your weight, improve your circulation and muscle tone, and reduce your stress. Whether your dog is overweight and needs to get in shape or you simply want to keep him at his ideal weight, regular walks are a great way to achieve this.
In addition to all this, going outside represents a change in your routine and, therefore, helps control your anxiety. Like people, dogs can suffer from stress for different reasons and physical activities can help them channel all that pent-up energy, releasing it in an appropriate way. The benefit will also be an improvement in your pet's concentration, since, by reducing excitement, he will reach a state of calm throughout the day and this will allow you to teach him more quickly. Another advantage? The walk improves the emotional bond with your dog.
Now, turning that outing with our dog into a pleasant moment is just as important. Teaching him to walk on a leash will turn your walks together into moments of relaxation and enjoyment. That is why it is important that, from a puppy, you educate your dog, so that he learns to walk correctly on the street from the beginning. Also avoid pulling on the leash: they can't stand it. And allow them to sniff, as it is instinctive for them: they need it. It is equally necessary that he come to you whenever you call him, as well as that you prevent him from escaping or coming into conflict with other dogs due to a matter of territoriality, even if he is obedient and calm with people.
According to experts, dogs should be walked at least three times a day. Taking him outside very early is very beneficial for him, because he can stretch his muscles after long hours of rest during the night. Leaving after eating will help you digest properly. A last walk before bed will improve your rest. Of course, be careful whether it is summer or winter: avoid the hottest hours in the summer and take advantage of the sunny hours when the days get shorter.
