A Dog of Your Dreams
Is your furry friend a little hard to handle? Well, you should probably ask yourself these:
Do they get enough sunshine and playtime outside the comforts of your home? Do they get to meet other beings aside from you and your family? And do they get someone’s undivided attention at certain times of the day?
All of these are answered with one simple solution, Dog Walking.
And here’s why it is needed by our beloved pet.
1. It benefits your dog’s physical health
Dogs, like humans, can also suffer from certain illnesses like hypertension and diabetes. Also, little to no exercise weakens their muscles and they will be prone to fractures and bruising with just a little fall or bump!
Dog walking maintains his/her weight to avoid obesity and develops strong bones and muscles. A healthy dog certainly reduces your worries and lessens visits to your vet.
2. Great for your dog’s mental health
Your dog’s mental acuity could decline due lack of activities. They may not be able to swiftly react to stimuli and follow your orders instinctively.
Regular walks could prevent this from happening. As you know, his/her sense of smell is one of his/her redeeming qualities. During walks, give some extra for your dog to sniff around as it provides enrichment and great mental stimulation.
Also, you may want to explore different routes daily; this enhances their sense of direction and can be very exciting for your dog.
Dogs are natural hunters, so giving them ample time to use their snouts will fulfil their primal desires.
3. Walking improves their behaviour
Dogs have so much pent-up energy when they just laze around cooped up in the same compartment. This is the reason why they tend to play rough and display destructive behaviour inside the house. Walking them daily not only tires them and gives them a good night’s rest but also helps them become more calm and docile
4. It boosts their confidence and socialisation
Taking your dog for a walk and letting them interact with other people and animals will prove helpful upbringing.
Lack of socialisation can make your dog fearful or intimidated. Some fearful dogs tend to be aggressive and territorial; while others always whine or cry and display signs of separation anxiety when left alone. The best way to circumvent these is to let them explore and meet new faces on a regular basis.
So, do they have enough time to go on an adventure beyond your fences? Or more accurately, do YOU have the time to indulge your pet with simple joy?
Let us help you with that! We’ll make sure that when you get home after a tireful day’s work, a good-mannered companion will greet you and make all your worries go away.
