Dogs lurve going on walks. Take them out every day – twice if you can.
Do make it fun together and get the whole family to join in!
If your pooch is still packed with power, play games and fetch the balls and sticks. Build hurdles and make an agility course for them in the garden or local park.
Just like you, dogs don’t want to exercise after they’ve just eaten.
Don’t give them masses of water just before or after.
Do take a bag to pick up the poo!
Don’t go walking in the middle of the day in summertime when it’s too hot.
Don’t take your dog on a huge walk if it hasn’t been out for a while, build up slowly.
Do make it fun together and get the whole family to join in!
A shorter walk every day is better than one big walk at the weekend.
