There are a lot of reasons why you should walk your dog such as: maintaining a healthy weight, strengthening your bond with your dog, mental stimulation, etc. But honestly the number one reason for me is so I can keep my sanity, plain and simple.

As a dog trainer, I see dogs from different breeds, age, and temperament, and I will be honest with you, just like I tell pet parents, when I say that the majority of “issues “ dogs exhibit is due to a lack of exercise. A dog that is tired is a pleasure to live with, as some of you know, while an unruly, bored to death dog is a completely different ball game.

Now you see why I recommend walking your dog? I want you to enjoy living with your canine companions, but you, pet parent, have to do your part. Enjoy your week and your walks!
