Not all walks serve the same purpose — and that’s a good thing!
Just like us, dogs benefit from different kinds of movement, stimulation, and connection. Understanding types of walks can help you better meet your dog’s needs and take some pressure off the idea of a “perfect” walk.
🐾 Structured Walk → Focus, predictability, and skill-building
🐾 Sniffari Walk → Decompression, enrichment, and fun!
🐾 Power Walk → Physical exercise and energy outlet
🐾 Pack Walk → Social learning and shared movement
Some days your dog needs structure. Other days they need to sniff, explore, or simply move their body. Progress isn’t about doing one type of walk perfectly — it’s about choosing what supports your dog that day, or what you have time for that day.
