✨ Why Dogs Deserve Boundaries ✨

Dogs, like humans, have personal space and preferences. Yet, it’s often overlooked that touching, feeding, or approaching a dog without asking their guardian can lead to stress—or even harm—for the dog.

This is why it’s so important to respect their space. By asking for permission and recognising their boundaries, we not only help dogs feel safe and comfortable but also build a kinder and more compassionate world for them.

👋Why a well-fitting harness matters.
👉You do what you do until you know better.

🐕Walking your dog is one of life’s simple pleasures—until it’s not. 🥲

Here are three common challenges people face during their daily strolls:

1. Pulling on the Lead

A strong-willed dog pulling like a freight train can turn a leisurely walk into a tug-of-war.

Not only is this frustrating, but it can also lead to physical strain for both the dog and the caregiver. Often, pulling stems from excitement, lack of proper training, or even an incorrect choice of equipment.

2. Reactivity to Other Dogs or People

The idyllic scene of a calm dog sauntering past distractions can quickly turn into barking, lunging, or other reactive behaviours.

This can be caused by fear, frustration, or an overly enthusiastic greeting style. It can leave the guardian feeling embarrassed, stressed, and unsure how to handle future encounters.

3. Refusal to Walk or Stopping Mid-Walk

On the other end of the spectrum, some dogs dig their paws in and refuse to budge—This could indicate discomfort, pain, anxiety, or even confusion about what’s expected.

Quick Tip:

Each of these challenges has a root cause, and addressing it starts with understanding your dog’s perspective.

Sometimes, it’s about adjusting training techniques or making sure their physical and emotional needs are met.

Every stage of your dog's growth demands specific attention, especially during their formative months.

🐾 Let's dive into how to responsibly manage exercise routines for young dogs to ensure healthy development.

Young dogs' bodies are still developing, making it essential to handle their exercise needs carefully to avoid long-term injuries.

A good rule of thumb for puppies is allowing 5 minutes of structured walking per month of age, twice a day. For example, a 4-month-old puppy would need about 20 minutes of daily walking.

It's crucial to gradually introduce them to different types of environments and gentle exercises that encourage their natural growth without overstraining their developing joints and muscles.

𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀:
Incorporate plenty of rest into your puppy's routine, as growth and recovery happen during these downtimes.

Avoid running and sliding over slippery floors and jumping up and down from furniture or in and out of cars.

Always be mindful of your puppy's reactions to exercises and adjust activities based on their enthusiasm and energy levels to prevent fatigue.
