Things to follow when taking your dog out on a walk

Walking your dog is an exercise time for both of you and probably one of the best ways to strengthen your bond even further.

Make walk time a stress reliever for the two of you by forgetting all worries and being happy in each other’s company.  Make this a mentally and physically stimulating time for your pooch.

Carry dog treats with you to reward him for behaving well and not pulling you along the sidewalks.

The leash and harness

Carry the essentials


When on a walk you need to judge the essentials according to the time and weather outside. If it is hot, wait till sundown when it is cooler so as to not exhaust your dog in the heat.
