I rarely need a reason to go for a walk, other than the fact
that I love to walk. When I am by myself, I usually listen to a book on CD or
one that I have downloaded from the public library to my iPhone (isn’t
technology wonderful?). But when I go out with our dogs for a walk, plugging up
my ears with earbuds is not an option. That’s because our three rascals are so
excited to go out that they all but pull my arms out of the socket. (I know
that is bad training – see this post on a good article explaining how to walk
your dog!)
Our dogs are pretty small breeds, so we do not have to take
adventurous hikes across the countryside for them to get worn out. But if you
have a large breed dog, then you might want to check out this article on “TopTen Hikes with Dogs.” Nancy Bouchard discusses some of her favorite dog-friendly
hiking trails, and she has some terrific pictures to illustrate them.
And since dogs expend a lot of energy when they walk and play outdoors, you will want to give them a naturally healthy treat when they get home. We like bully sticks in particular, as they allow our dogs to chew to their heart's content and enjoy a treat that helps clean their teeth as they chew.
