Are dogs born liking walks? Perhaps you’ve asked yourself this question, wondering why your dog doesn’t seem to enjoy walks at all, or why they act like their lead or harness is their mortal enemy? While going out for walks seems like an obvious thing all dogs love to do, for some dogs, the experience can be frightening, overwhelming or just a little too much. It can be upsetting or worrying for us humans when this happens, and it seems like your dog may not be getting enough exercise or enrichment as a result. By changing the channel on our emotional radio and tuning into how our dog is feeling before their lead or harness even appears, during their time outside, and after they’ve returned home, we can create action plans to keep them happy and comfortable every step of the way. We’ll also cover some easy games that you can play with your dog to build their confidence and make them feel like a walking superhero, all perfect for rescue dogs or those from difficult backgrounds. Sounds good? Tune in now!
