How to Keep Your Dog Excited About Walks

 

Did you know you should switch up your walking route with your dog?⁠
⁠
Walking your dog the same route every single day, or even multiple times per week, can get really boring for your dog.⁠
⁠
Think about yourself. If you’ve been walking this same route every day, are you truly there in the moment or are you just on auto pilot?⁠
⁠
Dogs can quickly pick up on a habit. So when you're walking the same route every day they will easily know which way to take and it just becomes a habit instead of an adventure.⁠
⁠
Plus, your dog doesn’t want to have to see the same bush, sniff the same tree, and pee on the same fire hydrant.⁠ That's all old news.
⁠
When you switch up your walking route it keeps your dog guessing. It also gives them new trees to sniff, bushes to see, and fire hydrants to pee on.⁠
⁠
And this will allow your dog to work their brain more which helps to tire them out in a different way than just the physical exercise.⁠
⁠
It’s better to have a dog that’s mentally and physically tired after a walk.⁠
⁠
It doesn’t have to be a crazy different walk. Even if you take the same route but backwards once in a while it will help. ⁠
⁠
Different walking routes are better for both you and your dog.⁠
