Winter Walking

Do you walk your dog in the cold winter months? Have you been skipping the morning or evening walk? We need to keep vigilant to keep our furry friends healthy and happy. When a dog is not walked they can become anxious and feel the same way we do when we do not exercise. They need a release and walking is a great form of exercise for a dog of any age. Here are 5 tips to help with remembering your pets walking schedule and motivating you during the cold winter months.

1. Set an alarm on your cell phone.
2. Every night before going to bed put a leash by your door.
3. Like any habit it will eventually become automatic.
4. You will be helping your pet and yourself!
5. A happy pet is a loving pet.
