When you go out in public, everything that has to do with your dog is your responsibility. For the new pet parents reading this blog, here are a few tips for an enjoyable walk with your fur baby.
1. Always Clean Up After Your Pet. Always.
Nobody wants to accidentally step on poop when they are out for a walk. I’m sure you would hate for that to happen to you. Be courteous of other people who are also out for their walk.
2. Use A Retractable Leash
Your fur baby have different moods like you do. Sometimes your dog is in the mood for a quick run ahead of you and then there are times when your dog just waddles beside you. Change the length of your dog’s leash to match their mood. Don’t worry, retractable leashes have a lock that will allow you to instantly stop your dog from running any further ahead of you.
3. Comfy Weather
When going out for a walk, make sure that the weather is not too hot for your beloved dog. You surely don’t want your fur baby’s cute paws to suffer when you walk around the block on a hot pavement. There are worse things that could happen when your dog is out on a very hot day but that is for another blog article.
4. Keep Your Doggo Hydrated
Bring a water bottle to keep you fur baby hydrated. You can choose between a combination bottle-cup or a collapsable cup, just make sure that it’s easy to carry along.
5. Keep An Eye Out For Unfriendly Dogs And/Or Neighbors
It’s a good idea to remember the places where it’s safe for you and your dog to walk around. Daily walks must be a time for you to bond and exercise with your pet. And when I say exercise, I meant walking around the block and not running away from the neighbor’s mean dog.
Remember these tips and enjoy a fun walk with your fur baby.
