Fun walks with your dogHere are some Waggy Dog tips on how to have fun walks with your dog! What are the best toys for outdoor play? What kind of place should we go for walks? How often should I walk my dog?
The secret to fun walks is that you and your dog are relaxed. So it may be that if your dog is a new member of the family, you will need to do some basic training before the fun can begin!
Let's assume you have established a good relationship with your doggy but feel that you could both get more out of your walks. Don't see it as a daily chore! Think of the health benefits for both of you! When I am out and about doing my dog walking, I often see many just plodding along and not communicating at all with their dog. That's really not much fun for anyone!
Equally though if your dog only ever gets short lead walks, he is not enjoying life to the full as he should. Some dogs can't be let off the lead - Barney can't. They may not respond well to recall or just run and run and run! Yes Barney! There have been times when I have been terrified of never finding him.
Maybe you can't always trust your dog around other dogs or people so keep him on a lead. Not everybody wants a waggy greeting or worst still a nasty one!
