WHY DOGS LOVE TO GO FOR WALKS
Dogs love to walk because they know instinctively that it's good for them. Walking your dog helps them stay healthy, provides a chance for him to explore, and promotes a sense of bonding between you and your pet.
Walking will help keep your dog in good physical shape, shed unwanted pounds, increase limberness and flexibility, and reduce digestive problems.
Giving your dog a chance to see the wider world provides him with a mental health boost, too. Covering fresh ground on a walk lets your dog investigate new and interesting sights, smells, and sounds. Just like humans, exercise helps boost a dog’s natural hormone levels that reduce stress and promote his mental well being. A regular exercise program will help reduce unwanted behavior problems, such as hyperactivity, jumping up on people, destructive chewing, and excessive barking.
In addition, spending time with your pet helps him to feel a sense of social order and structure and to feel comfortable with you as a leader. Regular walks can help fearful, anxious, or overly submissive dogs develop trust in you as the owner and confidence in unfamiliar situations. Walking can also provide your pet with chances to meet and socialize with other humans and dogs.
