Free-living dogs walk long distances every day. That is how they earn their food and stay healthy and balanced.
Since most dogs live inside our homes it is our responsibility to give them sufficient exercise and stimulation.
Retrieve games, little training sessions and the variation of the routes help keep the walks interesting and exciting for your dog.
Many dogs are used to being walked off-leash. They are allowed to run and
play as much as they want. To have that much freedom and for their own safety the
dog must be reliably trained to come when called.
Being walked with the leash on gives your dog an extra amount of mental work
because he has to follow certain rules. Also the leash provides security for more
cautious dogs.
For most dogs being walked in a group feels natural. They enjoy the company and have lots of fun being among others of their own kind. There is nothing like running around with another dog, and it is good for socialisation, too.
Individual Walks are a great way to give your dog lots and lots of attention. Cautious dogs can feel more secure than in a group. It is also a great possibility to get older dogs out and about. No rushing, not too much excitement but still a healthy amount of exercise.
Fixed Walking Days give your dog the pleasure of walking and playing with the same dogs every week. Socialisation and confidence improve with every walk. Also it helps you to organise your days in advance.
If you only need help from time to time, I am happy to walk your dog occasionally. This helps to take the stress out of your everyday life and gives you some extra time for yourself whenever you need it.
