If you live in the city and don’t have a lot of garden space for your dog, his or her favourite timeof the day would definitely be walks! For your dog, walks are more than just potty breaks. It’s the time they use to do doggy things that they love - sniff new smells, meet other dogs, explore and catch up on all the news of the neighbourhood. Walking your dog is a great opportunity to exercise your dog physically as well as stimulate his mind. So when you go back home, your dog is content, relaxed and happy. It’s also a good opportunity for you to take a break from screen time and just be in the moment. This podcast covers a few ways to make your dog happier on his or her walks.
