The seasons are changing. In most areas, the summer has been very hot. Why not take advantage of the cooler September weather to get out there and walk with your dog?
Well-exercised dogs tend to behave better. It’s good for their health and yours. Be sure to walk your dog on a leash and have fresh water available. A collapsible water bowl is an easy way to carry a bowl so you can offer your dog water wherever you are.
Build opportunities for your dog to sniff along the way. Sniffing provides lots of mental stimulation, offering an important complement to physical exercise. As your dog grows older, you’ll want to shift the balance of your walks away from covering a lot of ground to exploring more smells that interest your dog. As you stand there waiting, please take a deep breath and slowly let it out to refresh yourself. Everyone benefits when you take the time to let your dog smell the roses along the way.
It’s fun to explore new places with your four-legged best friend. Many areas have lovely state parks and maintained trails. So why not get out there? It’s better for both of you.
