Book Description
Walking your dog regularly provides a basic foundation for physical and mental health. Like a child, your dog wants to know the world. If he or she is confined to the house for too long, your dog will get bored, and boredom can lead to destructive behavior. Your dog is dependent on you to take them out to explore the sights, smells, and sounds of the world. This is why it's also good to vary the places you take your pet as dog much as possible. You've probably noticed how busy (and excited) your dog gets when he or she is walking, so let them enjoy every opportunity to discover! If walking your dog is a challenge, then this is the book for you! It outlines what equipment you'll need for successful walks, as well as techniques to achieve great loose lead walking. It talks about dog walking etiquette and how you should interact with other people and their dogs while out and about. This book discusses how much exercise your dog should have and what form it should take. It also looks at what you can do on those days when you just can't walk your dog, for whatever reason.

Based on the latest scientific findings, it will also help professionals (including physicians, veterinarians, and physical therapists) fight obesity and promote fitness in both people and pets. Never has there been a more compelling time for innovative approaches to increasing physical activity, reforming sedentary lifestyles, and enhancing fitness.
