As usual, in October, my big dog, who will be three years old this year, is a Labrador. His favorite thing to do is to play ball with me besides eating. Usually I walk four times
One Why walk the dog
Some people do not understand, think that there is no need to walk the dog, or think that let him go downstairs to shit and urinate, how can he have time to walk the dog after a day's work? What I want to say is that a large part of the reason for the healthy growth in October is a reasonable walk. I conclude that there are four reasons for dog walking.
1.Defecation
There is no doubt that this is also the ultimate goal of many owners to walk their dogs. They can walk their dogs for three to five minutes at a time. In October, they will defecate three times in four walks, at a fixed time and place. It is not easy to shit and urinate at home to develop good habits from childhood. But that's not the main reason I walk my dog.
Ma Ma, they are pooping, don't shoot!
2. Weight loss/energy consumption
This is not a problem that can be solved in three or five minutes. Once in four times a day, I walk my dog for a long time (about one and a half hours) with great intensity (playing ball), which can lose weight, exercise, and also consume a lot of energy to avoid the excitement of the dog. This is also the main purpose of my dog walking, which is to let October exercise, because October's body is not good since childhood.
Mama, I brought the ball back for you. Praise me quickly.
3. Develop a relationship with a good friend
Puppies put their owners first, but having a dog of the same age or older and more sensible to play with can not only make dogs happy, but also let dogs learn a lot of good habits or skills from each other's dogs. Many good habits in October are learned from another Labrador who always plays together, which is very worry-free.

4. Explore the world
Dogs are naturally curious about the outside world. The way they explore is to sniff. Their little nose sniffs everywhere. So I usually don't deprive him of the freedom to sniff in some places. As long as he doesn't eat, he's happy. Previously, I read in the article that dogs smell everywhere, which is equivalent to our circle of friends. They can identify each other's age, gender and other information by the smell (actually the smell of dog urine). Thinking of my endless circle of friends, I understand the feeling of wagging my tail excitedly and smelling everywhere in October.

Two When to walk the dog
The time I walk my dog and the length of each walk are roughly like this (for reference only, please adjust it according to your dog's body and your spare time):
Three Intensity of dog walking
This depends on the dog's own physical condition. October is a large dog, and it is easy to get fat. It needs a lot of exercise, so it doesn't matter if you walk a few times a day with a little more intensity. If your dog is born with poor health, or is a small dog, then please try to find the most appropriate intensity according to the dog's physical condition, not excessive, vulnerable to injury. Don't be too little. It's easy to get fat.
Four Prepare items
For a walk like this in October, I prepared a ball, water, a poop bag, a chest and back, a leash, etc. If you walk the dog for a long time, you need to prepare some food. Raincoats will be worn in rainy days, and shoes and cotton-padded clothes can be worn in snowy days.
Walking the dog is normal. Wearing a hat and gloves in winter, I carry a small schoolbag filled with October snacks, water and poop bags, and pose with snacks.
Five Precautions
1. The doctor advised me not to take October out until the first vaccination and rabies injection were completed in October, so I took more than four months in October to be careful underground. So please consult your doctor if you can walk your dog before the vaccine is completed.
Mama let me go out for the first time when I was so old.
2. If you walk your dog for a long time, please prepare some food and water, and remember to rest halfway. Beware of injury.
I like pink. Look, my chest and back are all pink. Humph.
4. Remember to clean up your dog's poop. You can buy a poop bag like me. It's very cheap. A few yuan a roll can be used many times.
This kind of small bag is easy to use, a small roll, easy to carry, of course, you can also use newspapers, plastic bags, care for the environment is the most important.
5. When you meet friendly children, you can play for a while, but please ask the host's permission first. If the other dog is very fierce, please take your dog away.
