A balanced walk is a good walk

When we think about going for walks with our dogs we generally think about going for a certain distance without a lot of breaks to stop and explore. we think of walks as primary exercise. As humans we are not always good at finding balance in our lives or in the things we do. we tend to have an all or nothing mindset. Our dogs think of walks differently. Dogs think of walks as time to get to know what has happened in the area they are in primarily through scent. Dogs don't walk in straight lines when off leash. They bounce from place to place checking out the stories the scents on the ground have provided. A balanced walk allows our dogs to explore their surroundings and sniff without dragging us around or forgetting we exist. Mixing up focused training (it can be leash work or other skills like sit and watch to build calmness), walking together and time to sniff and explore will keep your dog mentally happy and physically tired. If your dog gets easily over stimulated do less distance and more focus training, sit and watch and sniffing at first until they start to build confidence.
