Should I walk my dog every day?

Did you know, that it is ok to not walk every day!

Part of being a dog owner is setting expectations for your dogs. This means it is actually unrealistic to walk your dog every day for the whole of their life.

Following medical procedures for you or your dog, could mean restricted exercise regime. Or maybe something happens during the day meaning there is no time to walk. By giving your dog planned days of no walks, your dog will learn its ok to not have a walk and thus cope with the routine change.

This doesn’t mean you can’t still tire them out! You can use mental stimulation via games and enrichment at home during the rest day.
