A relaxed dog walk, tips for a harmonious time with your four-legged friend

Walking your dog should be a relaxing and enriching experience for both of you. Here are some tips to help you and your furry friend enjoy a harmonious and stress-free walk:

  1. **Preparation is key** : Before you leave the house, make sure you have everything you need: a leash, dog poop bags, water, and maybe some treats. A well-fitting collar or harness will ensure safety and comfort.

  1. **Choose the right time** : Avoid extreme weather conditions. Go early in the morning or late in the evening when it's cooler in summer. In rain or snow, a dog coat will help keep your four-legged friend dry and warm if needed.

  1. **Loose leash** : A relaxed walk starts with a relaxed leash. Practice walking on a loose leash so your dog doesn't pull and you don't have to constantly correct him. Reward your dog when he walks well beside you. Ask your dog trainer for tips on how to do this.

  1. **Let them explore** : Dogs love to explore their surroundings with their noses. Let your dog stop occasionally to sniff and enjoy his surroundings. These breaks are important for his mental stimulation.

  1. **Incorporate training** : Use walks to reinforce basic commands. Exercises like "sit," "stay," or "come" can be incorporated along the way to add variety to the walk.

  1. **Mastering Encounters** : When you encounter other dogs or people, remain calm and relaxed. Pay attention to your dog's body language and distract him if he seems nervous. A quick "turn away and avoid" or "look at me" can help defuse the situation.

  1. **Allow off-leash access** : If possible, find a safe place where your dog can run and play off-leash. A dog park or fenced-in area is ideal. Make sure your dog responds to your call and listens to you.

  1. **Take breaks** : Plan regular breaks, especially on longer walks. A short rest is not only good for your dog, but also for you. This allows you to enjoy nature together and recharge your batteries. This also promotes relaxation and bonding.

Conclusion:

A relaxed dog walk is a wonderful way to strengthen your bond with your dog and enjoy nature together. With proper preparation and a little mindfulness, every walk can become a highlight of the day.
