As a competent dog owner, we need to take our dogs out for a walk every day. As an opportunity for your dog to go outside every day, walking your dog is vital to your dog's health. What does walking a dog do? First of all it allows the dog to excrete urine and feces. Secondly, it allows the dog to get exercise and let off some energy. Finally, it allows the dog to relax. It can even help an obese dog lose some weight. There are tons of benefits to walking your dog, so how do you walk your dog properly?
Items to bring on a dog walk: dog leash, snacks and dog water bottle, smart collar for dogs, fecal cleanup kit and paper towels.
1. Dog leash. In places with a lot of people, especially those with older people and children, the dog should be kept on a leash to avoid intimidating or hurting other people. Especially when dogs get outdoors, they can be very excited.
2. Dog snacks and dog water bottles. Outdoor is a good time to train your dog. In order to be able to train your dog better, we should have enough snacks. Give some rewards when the dog follows instructions. This can make the dog learn faster and happier. Of course, plenty of drinking water is also necessary! Especially in the summer, dogs need to be hydrated and cooled down after a lot of exercise. So be sure to bring a good water bottle for your dog before you go out.
3. Smart collar for dogs. When you get to an open place like a park lawn. We can untie the dog's leash. Let it run happily. And this time the dog may escape from our sight. To prevent the dog from getting lost, we can wear a dog gps tracker for it. I use the OMNI PETLIFE dog gps tracker. This tracker can track the dog's location at any time. We can also set a dog geofence. Once the dog runs out of the security zone, my phone will receive an alert message. At the same time, through the navigation function I can quickly find the dog.
4. Fecal cleanup kit and paper towels. When walking the dog, the dog will excrete urine and feces. This time we need to do a good job of cleaning up.
Reasonable dog walking time:
1. According to the size of the dog. Half an hour is recommended for small dogs, 40-60 minutes for medium-sized dogs, and 1-2 hours for large dogs.
2. It is recommended to walk your dog after half an hour after a meal, so that the dog can digest the food. It is recommended that the dog be walked once a day, morning, noon and night, and in general it is best to ensure that the dog is walked and released two to three times a day. For the first time, it can be around 7:00-8:00 am. Eating breakfast after the morning walk will help increase your dog's appetite.
