What you shouldn't forbid your dog to do on a walk, even if you have little time: 5 things

When walking their dog, most people are always in a hurry.

Of course, if time is limited, you really want your dog to be outside as soon as possible.

However, there are some things that you definitely shouldn't stop your dog from doing, as they can have negative consequences.

Environmental Research

Dogs love to explore the world around them, smells, sounds and textures. Not allowing them to smell or explore their surroundings can deprive them of the opportunity to satisfy their natural curiosity. Every walk should be a new experience for your dog.

Contact with other animals

Meeting other dogs on walks can be important for socialization of your pet. Many people forget that socialization is key for dogs.

If they do not receive proper socialization, they may experience many difficulties in life over time.

Physical activity

Dogs need physical activity to maintain their health and good mood.

Not allowing them to run, jump and play while out on a walk can have a negative impact on their physical fitness and mental health.

Even if the time for a walk is limited, you need to try to do everything so that she can run and release her own energy.

Prohibit choosing a place for need

Dogs have a need to urinate and defecate while walking.

The most interesting thing is that dogs must choose this place themselves. We are talking about basic instincts that definitely cannot be changed.

Prohibit sniffing

When time is limited, many people want their dog to do all his business as quickly as possible. However, during a walk, all animals sniff.

Many people don't understand why they do it, but sniffing has psychological and physiological benefits for a dog's health. So prohibiting sniffing or studying something is definitely not a good idea.
