Dog Walking and Training

One of the most important yet commonly overlooked aspects of dog training is as simple as a dog walk.

For maximum training benefits, it is important that your dog does not have a high abundance of extra energy.

Think of it as ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) in kids.

The more energy they have, the less they can focus on the task at hand.

Dogs often get bored if they have too much energy. This boredom can lead to being mischievous or wreaking havoc inside your house.

A tired dog, one that is routinely walked, has far less energy to be destructive. Routine walks will help your dog release both mental and physical energy.

Most people think only about the physical aspects of a dog walk, but the mental release is just as valuable. Without a proper mental release, dogs can become mentally unstable leading to anxiety, hyper activity, and neurotic or obsessive habits.

This is not a good scenario.

It means they will become less likely to have the capacity to grasp the lessons you are trying to teach them which can lead to an increase of bad behaviors.

Start taking your dog on routine dog walks and you will see an improved opportunity to train them.
