First, master the correct way to walk the dog
1, the time to walk the dog every day
More importantly, walking should be done every day. What is the best time to walk every day? It depends on what kind of dog you have. Generally speaking, it is advisable for small dogs to walk for about 20~30 minutes every day, and medium dogs only need about 30~40 minutes every day. If you have a big dog weighing 70 to 80 kilograms, you will basically walk for almost an hour every day.
2. Don't suddenly exercise a lot.
Some owners have little time to take their dogs out from Monday to Friday because of their busy daily work. On Saturday and Sunday or because of guilt, I will take my dog hiking and wading, and do a lot of exercise on weekends. Actually, exercise can't make up for it. Suddenly, a lot of exercise can easily make dogs feel uncomfortable and cause all kinds of discomfort. If your dog is over 7 years old, this practice may also cause damage to the dog's heart, spine, ligaments and joints.
Don't let the dog run after the car.
Some owners are lazy and don't like walking very much. But the dog is going for a walk. What should we do? Man deserves to be an animal with a developed brain and an animal that can use tools. They will ride motorcycles and electric cars, pull the leash on the dog collar with one hand, and control the direction of the car with the other hand, so that the dog can follow the car. It seems like a good way, but it's not good for dogs. After all, dogs are not interested in running, especially long-distance running, except for some special breeds of dogs. Otherwise, walking the dog is not called walking the dog. Just call it walking the dog. Some elderly dogs exercise like this, which is easy to cause heart damage.

Although going out for a walk every day is good for dogs and their owners. However, everything must be measured, and the so-called going too far is not enough. In fact, people walking their dogs are also the process of dogs walking people. Because the best way is to walk, step by step, which is the best exercise. But also help to cultivate the relationship between the owner and the dog.
Second, walk the dog to find the right place.
1, do not bring dogs into parks, public green spaces, etc.
Dogs actually need to relax. People and dogs, both living, want to have a relaxing space. We can't just stay indoors. The weather is fine and everyone wants to take a walk in the public space. Obviously, this demand is not excessive. I talk too much because some people are afraid of dogs. There are reasons to keep dogs, and there are reasons to be afraid of dogs, but the two sides should not be antagonistic. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of "separation of human and dogs", we must set aside a certain place. In these areas, dog owners, dog walkers who spread joy, whatever tricks they take will not affect others.
2. Watch out for lice on the lawn
"Acari are widely distributed in the island city, and mountains, grass and bushes are all their favorite places." Jiang, director of the Disinfection and Vector Control Department of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that ticks are infested all year round, especially in summer. After walking the dog home, citizens who have pet dogs at home should remember to check whether there are ticks on the dogs and try to go to lawns, bushes and other places as little as possible. Citizens who need to do farm work in mountainous areas and other places, or hikers who like to travel outdoors, must do personal protection and try to wear tight, light-colored and smooth long-sleeved clothes to prevent being bitten by ticks.
Step 3 stay away from poisonous weeds
Drugs scattered in public green spaces may poison pets. Residents should take good care of their pets when they are in public green space activities; If skin or eyes come into contact with drugs, be sure to rinse with plenty of water; If you eat by mistake, don't use drugs to induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water to induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately.

Go out and walk the dog. Don't let the dog leave feces everywhere. A neat greenway, you can often see a pet dog urinating everywhere. Some uncivilized dog owners left a string of dog droppings after walking their dogs, which made the dog walkers frequently recruited and complained. It is reported that the "Interim Measures for the Management of Greenways in Shunde District" also stipulates: "If animals are brought into the greenway, preventive measures must be taken to prevent animals from excreting and polluting the environment, and to prevent animals from trampling and destroying greening and facilities." It is convenient for others and for yourself.
Third, the essential equipment for walking the dog.
1, put a mask on the dog.
According to the investigation of relevant departments, last year, the incidence of rabies has been the infectious disease with the highest number of reported deaths in China for five consecutive months, and China has become a country with high incidence of rabies. Nowadays, there are more and more dog-raising groups in cities, but the irregular dog-raising behavior has also caused a series of social problems. When the owner takes the dog out, in order to avoid infection, it is best to tie the dog's neck and stay away from pedestrians; It is best to wear masks for dogs in crowded places.
2, go out to walk the dog with a quasi-support certificate.
Dog residents in key dog management areas need to bring their ID cards, household registration books or temporary residence permits to the public security organs for registration. At the time of registration, it shall provide proof of dog immunization and submit the obligation to raise dogs. Dog limit certificate, the implementation of the annual inspection system. Dogs with quasi-raising certificates and leashes will be led by adults when they leave the house.

For Vadim Antone, a famous Israeli documentary director, a street walk with a pet dog four years ago may never be forgotten. Israeli Ha 'aretz 13 reported that Antone Vic was imprisoned by the police last month, then put into prison, and is still serving his sentence. Israeli media 13 said that Antone is still in prison, but it is not clear how long he needs to serve. Owners should pay attention to abide by the relevant rules when walking their dogs.
Fourth, some dogs can't walk
1, a puppy less than three months old.
A puppy like this can hardly walk. What is suitable for him to do every day is to eat after sleep and occasionally accept the caress of his master.
2. Estrous bitch or pregnant dog
Some owners go out for a walk with a bitch in heat, talk to others for a few days, and find that their dog is pregnant, even the baby's father doesn't know. Pregnant dog mothers can go out for a walk, but not for too long for the first time. Second, pay attention at all times. If there are other male dogs near the mother dog, keep your distance.
3. Newly bought dog
Some pet owners like to take their newly bought dogs out for a walk, but this is really not a good habit. What if a dog that is not fully immunized or has begun to be immunized but is still in the critical period of two weeks is not suitable for walking around and getting infected with germs? Similarly, it can be proved that dogs who are sick or recovering from a serious illness are not suitable for going out for a walk often. Look at the animal world. All the sick animals stay in their nests to keep healthy. Who will have nothing to do and go out for a "white dove turn over" to spread their feelings?
Editorial comments
Middle-aged and elderly dogs should pay attention when walking their dogs, and don't do exercises that make their heartbeat and breathing very fast and for a long time. When breathing and heartbeat last for several minutes or more than ten minutes, it is easy to cause myocardial hypoxia and systemic hypoxia. For middle-aged dogs and people, the only advantage of running is to increase calorie consumption in a limited time. But the purpose of exercise is not to burn calories, but to improve the health of blood circulation, muscles, ligaments, joints and internal organs.
Fifth, don't let the dog "walk" its owner.
1, change the situation of being "walked" by dogs.
If you want to change the situation of being "walked" by a dog, you might as well try this-when the dog is "exploring", suddenly pull the dog chain when it is not looking, quickly and gently. With such a few sudden attacks, the dog will understand that you are the leader, and it can only be a "small tail". In addition, changing the route is also a good idea. When the dog runs along the familiar route every day, you can try to change it, such as walking forward for a while and coming back for a while. Doing so will make the dog understand that he must always pay attention to his master's intentions, otherwise he will fall into a passive situation.
2. Training starts with puppies.
(1) After putting on the leash, let the dog be on the owner's left. So the owner can hold the snack in his right hand and train it to sit down.
(2) At the beginning, you might as well get into the habit several times. Take the left leg first and pull the leash at the same time, and give the dog the order to "keep up". If the dog is too impatient or excited at this time and suddenly jumps forward, he should grasp the collar with his left hand in time and gently pull the dog back to the correct position.
(3) Dogs should be rewarded for leaning in the right position beside their owners.
Editorial comments
When the owner walks, if the puppy can follow the owner and obey the order to sit down, it can train the dog to turn right. At this time, the owner can guide the dog to turn right with his left hand and issue the command of "keeping up". Finally, learn how to turn left. When turning left, the owner can speed up the pace appropriately and put snacks on the dog's nose to slow the dog down. When slowing down, the car mainly gives the "stable" password in time.
6. Walking the dog can promote health.
1, scientific basis
The researchers surveyed 5,000 Britons, of whom 3,000 had dogs. According to the survey results, 57% of the respondents think that walking the dog is their main exercise. The researchers found that dog owners walked their dogs twice a day for an average of 24 minutes each time. In this way, their weekly exercise time totals about 5 hours and 38 minutes. On this basis, they walk their dogs for a long distance three times a week on average. This increased their weekly exercise time by 2 hours and 33 minutes. In contrast, people who don't have dogs exercise for an average of only 1 hour for 20 minutes per week. Their exercise forms are usually going to the gym, walking or jogging. Nearly half of people who don't own dogs admit that they don't exercise at all.
2. Walk the dog to get a good figure
Everyone has a love of beauty. Especially for some relatively plump women, having a slim figure is definitely a dream. I have heard of many ways to lose weight, such as taking medicine, dieting and exercising, but walking the dog is actually a very strange way to lose weight.

At present, American researchers have proved through experiments that you don't have to go to the gym to stay healthy, but ordinary physical activities such as walking your dog and mowing the grass can also play a role in prolonging life. Research reports show that any kind of physical activity that consumes energy may reduce the chance of death and prolong people's life. The researchers reached this conclusion after investigating 302 elderly people aged between 70 and 82. The report emphasizes that those daily physical activities can also help people keep healthy, such as walking the dog, mowing the lawn, going up and down the stairs, walking slowly (at least 30 minutes a day), or vacuuming the floor and other housework. The daily activity time should be no less than two hours.
