The Best Way to Walk your Dog – Clean Pets Grooming

Keeping your dog on a leash is important and serves a few different purposes.

1. It keeps your dog safe. Even the most well-trained dog might catch an interesting smell and run off into the path of traffic or far away from home. Having your dog on a leash ensures this won’t happen because you are in control of where they go.

2. It ensures the safety of the people and animals around you. Again, your dog might be well-trained, well-socialized, and friendly. But other dogs might not be. If your dog is on a leash, it will be easier to head off any sticky situations with other dogs. You can also prevent your dog from jumping up on people.

3. Finally, in many places, keeping your dog on a leash is the law. In most public places dogs are not allowed to be unleashed. Using a leash when you walk your dog is the best thing to do for you, your dog, and everyone else around you.

Remember to bring and use disposable bags
Always carry several bags on your person in case your pooch feels the urge. Once you’ve picked up the poop, dispose of it in a public rubbish bin. Take the bag home to throw away if there isn’t a convenient place along the way.
Not a fan of the idea of picking up your dogs poop along your walk? Trying to give your dog the opportunity to go before your walk is always a good idea.

Don’t disturb others
Be courteous and don’t let your dog disturb other people or animals on their walk. If someone comes up to you and asks to pet your dog, always be sure that your pooch is open to strangers wanting to be friendly and pet it. It’s also important to make sure that you and your pet do not damage other people's property. This includes no digging, chewing, urinating, or pooping in somebody else’s yard or on their front lawn. Respect other peoples’ property and keep moving.

Keep a close eye on your furry friend
While enjoying your time outside, remember to keep a close eye on your pooch to help keep them safe throughout your entire walk. If your pup does not enjoy walking on a leash, or needs extra practice to get comfortable, consider practicing in your backyard or investing in some professional training to help your pet adjust to its public outing. When you and your dog are prepared, you can venture out into your neighbourhood, local walking trail, or local park to enjoy going for a walk together. And consider following these helpful tips of dog walking etiquette so that other people around you will be able to enjoy their walks, too.
