Dog Walking
Whether you’re away from home for hours at a time or just need to make sure your dog gets the exercise they need, book a walk with Your Pet AuPair!
Dog walks aren’t just about quick potty breaks. There are countless benefits to scheduling a regular walk for your dog:
-
Overall Fitness: Regular exercise is essential in order to keep your dog happy, healthy, and feeling their best! Plus, a healthy lifestyle including regular exercise has been shown to prolong a dog’s life span! Learn more by clicking on Overall Fitness.
-
Mental & Physical Stimulation: Sure, they’re getting a workout. But they’re also workin’ their brain as they take in new sights and smells along the way.
-
Socialization & Confidence: Exposing your dog to new sights, smells, people, and other dogs keeps them well-socialized. A regular walking routine will help to familiarize your dog with their surroundings and really build up their confidence.
-
Behavior: A happy, tired dog is the goal. When your dog is able to meet their physical & mental needs through regular dog walks, they are less likely to cause any trouble at home. This means that they’re less destructive and more apt to listen to commands.
-
Entertainment: Speaking of destruction, a bored dog can really cause chaos in your home. Regular dog walks help to prevent boredom and keep any behavior issues at bay.
