A walk<\/strong> is much more than a quick trip outside for our dog<\/strong>‘s needs. It’s time for exploring, moving, sniffing, play<\/strong> and mental stimulation \u2014 and every dog<\/strong> needs their own combination.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Every dog has different needs<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Not all dogs<\/strong> need the same walk<\/strong>. A young Malinois<\/strong>, a Golden Retriever<\/strong> and a senior dog<\/strong> have completely different needs in terms of movement, intensity and duration.<\/p>\n

The breed and its traits are an important part of the picture, but not the only one. Age, physical condition, personality, daily routine and each dog<\/strong>‘s individual temperament play just as important a role.<\/p>\n

That’s why there’s no single \u201cright\u201d walk<\/strong> that suits everyone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Physical exercise matters<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

Dogs<\/strong> need to move. Depending on the dog, this might be a walk, free running in a safe, controlled space, play<\/strong> with a ball or tug, or another activity that suits their needs and abilities.<\/p>\n

Not every walk<\/strong> needs to be a race. But there does need to be enough physical activity<\/strong> during the day for their body to move and let off steam in an appropriate way.<\/p>\n

And a word of caution: more exercise doesn’t always mean better exercise. Especially with puppies<\/strong>, senior dogs<\/strong> or dogs with musculoskeletal problems<\/strong>, the intensity and type of activity need to be adapted to their needs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

The mind needs work too<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

A dog<\/strong> doesn’t only get tired from running.
Foraging, scent games<\/strong>, training<\/strong>, solving small problems and exploring new environments all offer important mental stimulation.<\/p>\n

For many dogs<\/strong>, a few minutes of meaningful mental activity<\/strong> can matter far more than simply walking a few extra kilometres.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

And let them sniff<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

Sniffing<\/strong> isn’t a waste of time, and stopping every few metres doesn’t necessarily mean our dog<\/strong> is \u201cbeing lazy\u201d or holding up our walk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Smell is one of the main ways dogs<\/strong> gather information. Through scents they explore their environment, learn who has passed by a spot, what happened there and what’s around them.<\/p>\n

So sometimes it’s worth putting our own schedule aside for a moment and giving them time to sniff.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

We don't just want a tired dog<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

The goal isn’t for them to come home so exhausted that they collapse.
The goal is to have met their needs: to have moved, explored, sniffed, played and used their brain.<\/p>\n

A dog<\/strong> who has had the right physical and mental outlet is far more likely to come home and be able to truly relax.<\/p>\n

Because in the end, a good walk isn’t measured only in kilometres. It’s measured in everything our dog got to do while they were out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
