January is officially
Walk Your Dog Month. I’m not sure
why they would pick the month with snow and sub-freezing temperatures. It
probably is to motivate humans to keep their New Year’s resolution to get in
shape! Whatever the reason, it is always a great time to walk your best friends.

Tips
for a Great Walk
• Always have poop bags to clean up after your dog.
• Keep your dog on a
leash unless you’re in an off-leash park.
• Bring water and a collapsible bowl.
• Small treats can be
a wonderful walk to incorporate training with exercise.
• Watch your dog for
signs of distress or tiredness.
• Never pull on your
dog’s collar as you could cause damage to their neck.
• Protect their paws
from extreme cold or heat with Pawz® or Jelly Wellies booties.
maybe january was picked to make it easier for humans to stick with their new year resolutions what contain often more eggs-ercising?
ReplyDeleteThat is what we figured too.
DeleteWe's gotten a walk everyday dis month!
ReplyDeleteWe just got Bentley's new PrideBites step-in harness so we will be walking a lot more often. His other harness rubbed his underarms so badly.

DeleteSuch great tips! January has not been a great month for us for walking for sure! Looking forward to warmer temperatures in getting back to walking and jogging!
ReplyDeleteIt has been cold here too. We still try to get the boys out and about.
DeleteWe love winter walking. The cold and snow make it the most fun time of the year for us.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't go for a walk in our snow but we played hard in it.
DeleteOur next door neighbors dog Kasi used to walk my mom twice a day when Kasi's mom had to work...and we heard mom was very well behaved and an excellent walker.

Maybe she could take you for a walk. Have you ever tried on a leash??
DeleteSome great tips for walking your dog, enjoy your walks.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWe don't get snow or ice and we don't miss them on our winter walks.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that I'd bust my bum trying to walk on snow and ice!
DeleteWe can't tick off all of those, but we get a walk every day...sometimes two or three, except in heavy rain. Luckily, we have very few of those.
ReplyDeleteYou are all so lucky to get to walk and play together!
DeleteYes great tips to walk!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruckus! It is so nice to see you again!
DeleteWe think they should move this month to May. :)

It would probably get more pet parents' support in the warmer weather.
