20 fun ways to help your dog beat summer boredom
Beat summer boredom for your dog with creative tips and activities to keep them happy, healthy, and entertained during hot weather.
Dog walks
Daily dog walks are one of life’s sweetest pleasures. But a dog who is unable to walk on a leash properly can make that experience miserable. Train your dog to walk on a loose leash, pick the right spots and enjoy your time together.
Make the most of daily walks: Pick a fun place, set a reasonable pace, and keep your dog on a loose leash.
Walks boost fitness for dogs and owners: Everyone knows your dog needs daily exercise. But research shows owners benefit from walks just as much as their dogs if not even more.
Find your spot: Make daily walks count. Find out where your dog likes to walk best — park, beach, woods or school.
Eliminate leash aggression: When stressed, dogs who don’t know how to walk on a loose leash exhibit leash aggression. Nervous dogs will instinctively revert to a fight or flight mode.
Dog walking benefits: Walks provide great exercise, bonding and training time. They also give your dog the skills to find his way home if he gets lost.
