5 reasons to walk your dog

11/18/2020

0 Comments

 
Walking can improve the mental and physical health of both human and dog. We know this but sometimes make up excuses why we cannot walk our dog. If we make it fun and throw on our favorite music, or podcast then we can create a positive experience for us make it more likely we will walk our dog again. 

A fun motivational tip is to listen to a particular playlist, book, or podcast while on that walk so you look forward to the walks and dedicate that for only your dog walks. Here are more motivation tips from FitBark a GPS and Fit Tracking collar for your dog. (genius)

The CDC recommends walking about 20 minutes a day and this is great for dogs too depending on their age, and the weather. Even if you walk your dog for 10 minutes, that is better than no walk, righ? My motto is keep it simple and allow for flexibility without judgment. 

Reasons Why You Should Walk Your Dog:
​
1. Strengthen you bond AKA (My dog listens to me.)
2.   Added mental stimulation to your dog's life
3. Reducing blood pressure for you and your dog
4. Increasing your energy levels
5. Weight loss for you and your dog

​Varying the types of walks you can take with your dog can serve as enriching exercises and prevent behavior problems displayed by your dog.
​
+Sniffy Walks
+Decompression Walks
+Structured Walks
+Training Walks
+Potty Break Walks

Teaching your dog various cues for the walks mentioned above will help add predictability.

Like babies, dogs thrive on predictability .

Allowing your dog to offer the behaviors taught can provide your dog with the power of choice and empower them!

The pet sitting industry’s only knowledge-assessed certification exam for professional pet sitters.

Pet Sitters International has been the leading educational association for professional pet sitters, with the mission of “pet-sitting excellence through education.” Now, more than ever, It's important to stand out from the hobby pet sitters and non-professional pet sitters and dog walkers. This is the most qualified, knowledgeable professional pet-sitting option that pet sitters can obtain to demonstrate their qualifications so they can stand out in the sea of qualified and unqualified options in this industry.

PSI's CPPS-Certified Professional Pet Sitter® Exam covers general body of knowledge obtained through my educational and professional experiences .

CPPS-Certified Professional Pet Sitter® is a federally-trademarked certification mark PSI awards to professional pet sitters who successfully demonstrate their knowledge and skills by obtaining a passing score on the CPPS Exam and agreeing to adhere to PSI’s Recommended Quality Standards and Code of Conduct & Ethics.

Read the objectives covered required for the CPPS Certification include topics like health and first aid for dogs, cats, and birds. Safety and ethics are also important objectives. 

Fetch Worthy has openings for pet sitting during the holidays. Email us today to inquire!

How often should i walk my dog?

Professional dog walker and dog trainer with Fetch Worthy.
Daily dog walks provide more than a backyard can because it becomes mundane, resulting in mischievous behavior.  Sure soaking up some sunshine is great, but just like humans, they need to exercise daily for good health. Walking helps preserve your pet's muscle tone, joint health, and provides aerobic exercise, which prevents obesity. The American Veterinary Association recommends dogs walk 15 - 60 minutes daily, depending on many individual factors, like dog breed, and age.

Walks are much more than just exercise!

New walking routines broaden your dog's horizons, helping to strengthen their social skills and even offers mental stimulation by stimulating your pet's mind through sniff-breaks, new sights, and new opportunities to train. 

Walking your dog regularly provides a necessary foundation for physical and mental health. If he or she is confined to the house for too long, your dog will get bored, and boredom can lead to destructive behavior.

Dr. Susan Nelson, K-State veterinarian, and professor says, “People and their dogs both need physical activity to fight obesity, and there are many exercises that owner and pet can do together that can improve their health and their relationship.” according to a Kansas State University expert.”

We understand how important it is to keep your pet healthy and yourself, so we offer a two-week dog walking trial! The American Veterinary Medical Association says, that training your dog to “behave on a leash, and seek help to address any behavioral problems” is important to when beginning a walking routine for your new puppy or adult dog. If your dog needs leash walking training first, we will recommend a plan for the safest pet dog collars and leashes available. 

Comment above and let us know how long you and your dog like to walk.
