Master the correct method of walking your dog

1. Time to walk your dog every day

It is important that walking should be done every day. How long is the most appropriate amount of walking time every day? It depends on what kind of dog you have. Generally speaking, it is more suitable for small dogs to walk for about 20 to 30 minutes a day, while for medium-sized dogs, it only takes about 30 to 40 minutes a day. If you have a large dog weighing more than 70 or 80 pounds, If you have a dog, you basically have to walk for almost an hour every day.

2. Do not do sudden large amounts of exercise

Some owners are busy with their daily work and have little time to take their dogs out from Monday to Friday. On Saturdays and Sundays or out of guilt, I take my dog ​​hiking and wading in the water, and do a lot of exercise on weekends. In fact, exercise cannot make up for it... A sudden large amount of exercise can easily cause the dog's body to adapt and cause various discomforts. If your dog is over 7 years old, this practice may also cause damage to the dog's heart, spine, ligaments and joints.

3. Don’t let your dog run with the car

Some owners are lazy themselves and don't like walking very much. But the dog wants to walk, what should we do? Humans are not only animals with developing brains, but also tools that use animals. They ride motorcycles and electric bicycles, pulling the leash on the dog collar with one hand and controlling the direction of the car with the other hand, allowing the dog and the car to run together. This may seem like a good approach, but it's actually not good for dogs. After all, except for some special breeds of dogs, dogs have no interest in running, especially long-distance running. Otherwise, if you walk your dog, you wouldn't call it a walking dog. You can call it a running dog. Some older dogs are prone to heart damage if exercised like this.

Find the right place to walk your dog

1. Do not bring dogs into parks, public green spaces, etc.

Dogs actually need to relax too. People and dogs are both living beings, and they all want a space to relax. We can't just stay indoors. The weather is nice, so we want to take a walk in public spaces. Obviously, such demands are not excessive. If I'm exaggerating, it's because some people are afraid of dogs. There are reasons for raising dogs, and there are reasons for being afraid of dogs, but the two sides should not become antagonistic. Therefore, if you want to solve the problem of "separation of humans and dogs", you have to find a certain place. In these areas, dog owners can walk their dogs happily and do whatever tricks they want without disturbing others.

2. Beware of lawn ticks

Ticks are widely distributed in this island city. Mountain forests, grasslands, shrubs, etc. are their favorite places. Jiang Hongrong, director of the Disinfection and Vector Control Department of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that lice can be found all year round, especially in summer.When people walk home with their pet dogs, they should remember to check the dog for ticks and go to lawns, bushes and other places as little as possible. Citizens who need to work in the mountains and forests, or travel friends who like to travel, must take personal protection and try to wear tight, light and smooth long-sleeved clothes to prevent being bitten by ticks.

3. Stay away from poisonous weeds

Pharmaceuticals sprinkled in public green spaces may be poisonous to pets. Residents should take good care of their pets when activities in public green spaces; if their skin or eyes come into contact with the agent, they must rinse it with plenty of water; if they accidentally ingest it, do not use drugs to induce vomiting. They should drink plenty of water to induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately.

Indispensable equipment for walking your dog

1. Put on a mask for your dog

According to surveys by relevant departments, the incidence of rabies ranked first among the country's infectious disease death reports for five consecutive months last year, and China has become a rabies-prone country. Nowadays, more and more people are raising dogs in cities, but the irregular behavior of raising dogs has also caused a series of social problems. When the owner takes the dog out, in order to prevent infection, it is best to tie the dog's neck and keep it away from pedestrians; it is best to wear a mask in places where people go.

2. When you go out to walk your dog, you must bring your permission certificate

Dog-raising residents in key dog-raising management areas need to bring their resident ID cards, household registration books or temporary residence permits to the public security organs for registration. Dog immunity certificates must be provided when registering, and a dog-raising obligation letter must be submitted at the same time. Dog licenses must be subject to an annual inspection system. When taking a dog out of the house, you must carry a license and a leash, and the dog must be led by an adult.

Some dogs cannot be walked

1. Puppies that are no more than three months old

Puppies like this will stumble even while walking. Every day, the correct approach is to finish eating, sleep, eat, and occasionally be caressed by the owner.

2. Female or pregnant dogs in estrus

Some owners take their female dogs in heat out for a walk and chat with others...a few days later, they find out that their dogs are pregnant, and they don't even know who the father of the baby is. A pregnant dog mother can go out for a walk, but the first time should not be too long. Secondly, the owner should pay attention to it at all times. If there are other male dogs near the dog mother, they should pay attention to keeping the distance between them.

3. Newly bought dog

Some pet owners like to take their newly purchased dogs out for walks, but this is indeed not a good habit. Because dogs that are not fully immunized or have started to be immunized but are still within the two-week danger period are not suitable for walking around. What should I do if they are infected with germs? The same principle can be proved...Those who are sick or have just recovered from a serious illness are also not suitable. Go out for a walk often. LookIn the animal world, sick animals stay in their nests to recuperate. Who would go out and play "White Pigeon Spin" to relax their mood?

Don’t let the dog “walk” the owner

1. Change the situation of being “walked” by the dog

If you want to change the situation of being "walked" by a dog, you might as well try this - when the dog is "exploring", pull the dog leash suddenly when it is not paying attention, and the action should be quick and gentle. After a few sudden attacks like this, the dog will understand that you are the leader, and it can only be a "little tail" obediently. In addition, changing routes is also a good idea. When your dog runs on a familiar route every day, you can try to change it, such as walking forward for a while and returning for a while. Doing this will make the dog understand that it must always pay attention to the owner's intentions, otherwise it will fall into a passive situation.

2. Training to accompany the dog starts from the puppy

(1) After putting on the leash, let the dog be on the left side of the owner. In this way, the owner can hold the snack in his right hand and train it to sit down obediently.

(2) When setting off, you may wish to deliberately form a habit in the first few times. First, step out your left leg, pull the leash at the same time, and give the "Follow" command to the dog. If the dog is too impatient or excited and suddenly rushes forward, you should grab the collar with your left hand in time and gently pull the dog back to the correct position.

(3) When the dog is in the right position next to its owner, it should be rewarded.
