What is the significance of walking for dogs?
1. Prevent underactivity
2).Activate the nervous system
3. Deepen the intimate connection with the owner
4. Learning socialization
5.Weight loss

The time for a typical dog to walk depends on the hound and the dog. For small dogs, about two times a day, about 20-30 minutes each time; medium and large dogs are two times a day, 30-60 minutes each time.

1. Prevent underactivity
This kind of exercise is not to abuse the intense movement of muscles and joints, but to maintain or enhance the movement of healthy flesh in the future.
Without walking, the muscles will decline, and it takes a considerable amount of time to recover the degraded muscles again. When the dog is old and the feet and physical strength are weak, it is very laborious and physically exhausted to give it a lot of exercise in a hurry!

2. Activate the nervous system
Both the dog itself and the owner cannot make autonomic nerves. However, during the walking process, the stimulation and aerobic exercise felt by the dog have the effect of activating the autonomic nerve and the brain. It is pleasant to walk because the movement restores the autonomic nerves.

3. Deepen the close connection with the owner
Communicate with dogs during walks to deepen mutual trust. After deepening mutual trust, the dog will be more obedient, and can slowly reduce unnecessary squeaking and biting.

The best thing to do is to take a walk while talking to the dog. If you feel embarrassed on the road as if you are talking to yourself, you can also have some intimate interaction with the dog when you start walking with the dog.

4. Learning socialization
Dogs are social animals when they are engaged in collective action. For dogs, when learning social things, not only other dogs that are encountered during walking, but also people other than family members, animals other than dogs, let the dogs get used to all the sounds and environments around them.

5. Weight loss
A walk of more than 20 minutes is the most suitable aerobic exercise. It can effectively burn fat and bring weight loss effect. If the dog wants to leave a mark frequently, it will be ineffective, and the owner should pay more attention to it!

In addition, small dogs and older dogs, if they walk for less than 20 minutes, will reduce the amount of fat in the blood. It is not so much weight loss, it is more accurate to make the blood clear.
What are the precautions when walking a dog?
A dog that has never walked, suddenly letting it walk for a long time, will increase its joint burden. If you are a fat dog, the burden will be even heavier. It is recommended to observe the dog's condition while slowly increasing the time and distance of the dog's walk!

Dogs born less than one year are in the growth phase, and the bones are still in an incomplete state. Prolonged walks and strenuous exercise can interfere with growing bone growth. The risk of hip dysplasia will also increase.

Walking makes the dog's body and mind more healthy

Dog walking is an important time to make your mind and body more healthy at the same time. Only the owner can make this time. No matter how busy your work or family life is, you must take the time to go for a walk! Walking is the best anti-aging technique to keep your dog young and healthy.
