dog walking mistakes

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Dog walks are one of the most important activities we engage in with canine family members; dogs need and love to take walks and derive huge benefits from them
  • Just as some dogs, for a variety of reasons, are difficult to walk, some pet parents could improve their skills as well
  • Common dog walking mistakes by humans include not allowing your pet opportunities to sniff, ignoring her, multi-tasking during walks and choosing the wrong type of leash, harness or collar
  • Another mistake is not taking advantage of different types of dog walks to keep things interesting for both of you
