If your walks don't look like this....I don't wanna know 🤭
In all seriousness, a walk should be peaceful. It should be filled with all the smells and investigations. It should be calm. It is your dog's time to be a dog and use their best senses to take in the world around them. It should never be rushed, and you should never get annoyed at your dog for being a dog.
A run is different. Taking your dog for a run (letting them loose in an enclosed field/letting them off lead in a park/running with them etc...) is purely for their physical fitness, not their mental enrichment. If you run your dog...always make sure you spare time for mental enrichment and the best way to do this is to allow them to sniff and watch the world whilst also engaging with you for some verbal command practice in high distraction areas.
