Group Dog Walking Service in Burntwood

One of the most important aspects of keeping our best friends in good condition both physically and mentally is a regular walking routine.

Most of us are aware of the physical benefits of a lovely hour long countryside walk for our dogs, but no so many realise the mental benefits of this also.

In fact “Canine Enrichment” is the most important part of our furry friends mental wellbeing.

Here are a couple of great canine enrichment activities that we can do with our dogs :

Decompression Walks

A decompression walk is a walk in nature, off-lead or on a long line where your dog is free to sniff, dig, roll, run, chase, explore and do all the doggie things they want. Think of woods, trails, parks, fields, beaches, or any area that is away from traffic and hustle and bustle of the city. The goal of this walk is to give your dog an opportunity to be a dog in as stress-free and unstructured environment as possible.

These walks are stimulating, calming, and…yes, decompressing.

Sniffing Games

Sniffing is how dogs see the world. Nothing gets my hackles up more than seeing dog owners interrupt, yank, or most heartbreakingly of all, correct their dogs for sniffing. This is misguided and unkind. Please let your dog sniff!

Sniffing in a new place for 15 minutes can be more enriching than sniffing in an old one for 30.
Sniffing is self-calming and is also a calming signal to other dogs.
Sniffing is a great way to finish a walk or to decompress from a stressful event.
