Walk the Dog

Taking your dog(s) on regular walks is important to their physical and mental health.  They learn so much about their world through their nose that getting out and smelling the world on walks helps their all behavior, too.  It's also a great bonding experience with the person walking them.  That is of course if you work on the relationship on the walk.  That's a whole other story...

Many people find it a challenge to find time to walk their dog(s) or don't find it enjoyable because of their pulling or other bad behavior.  For me personally, I find making time the challenge.  I go through phases of good walking schedules, but I'm never consistent.  What to do?


Well, knowing I am a social creature who enjoys spending time with my own dogs, people and their dogs I decided asking others to join me was a possible solution to consistency.  That's exactly what it's become!  Since my schedule is pretty crazy I've set aside 3pm on Sunday afternoons to walk my own dogs with folks I've invited with their dogs.  We meet at different parks and just enjoy ourselves walking, talking and letting our dogs make some new friends (human and dog).  It's really been a blessing to all of us!
