If like me you are unable to walk in busy parks or highly populated off lead areas, then you need to consider alternatives.
For my two DINOS I walk around the town in which I live, or I drive to the country side and walk through country lanes or I choose a walk from a walking website, details can be found on the links to the right of the page. These types of walks are ideal, especially if you can get a couple of friends to join you! Beware of walks which are tailor made for dogs.
Some other alternatives which you may consider….
- Walking off peak, so that you are less likely to see other dogs
- Buying your dog a back pack to intensify his walks and give him a job to do
- Jogging with your dog, known as cani x
- Cycling with your dog
- Investing in good equipment such a double ended lead so you can attach to a harness and a halti/collar
- Agility kit in your garden
- Treadmill
- Training sessions with your dog
- Avoiding parks or busy off lead areas
It is far better for you and your dog to enjoy a couple of good walks than to have numerous stressful ones.
