Dog Walks
Dog Walks
Dogs need to walk for exercise and mental stimulation. Walking is natural to dogs. They have four legs that enable their ease of travel and avoidance of boredom. Dog walks fulfill so many canine needs that no loving owner is excused for not including it in a daily routine. Exercise keeps muscles fit, frames strong, weight in check, and may prevent or alleviate degenerative joint diseases. Regardless of size, breed, gender or age, a dog needs physical activity as in dog walks in order to be a balanced, healthy animal.
Dog Walks Are Natural and Beneficial

Consistent walks help dogs. Behaviorists believe dogs having daily walks are better behaved. Dogs that are walked are less likely to be destructive, obsessive, or have separation anxiety.
Twenty minutes is a good amount of time to aim for most dogs—even seniors, if they’re in good health. If your dog is active, he may need longer walks or more walks per day.
Dogs need a minimum of exercise every three days. Consistent dog walks help dogs avoid boredom and strengthen mental circuits that produce the mechanisms of movement.
