1-2-1 Walks: Why Solo Enrichment Walks Can Be Better for Some Dogs
We often think our dogs feel lonely and need to meet friends (I’m guilty of that too—just ask my Bianca!).
But the truth is, group walks aren’t enjoyable for every dog. Just like people, some dogs are introverts—so why not let them be themselves?
1-2-1 walks can be incredibly beneficial! Here are just a few pros:
Ideal for dogs who need help with training, reactivity, or confidence-building.
The pace, route, and activities can all be adjusted for that dog’s comfort and enrichment.
Some dogs find group walks overwhelming due to noise, movement, or proximity to other dogs.
1-to-1 walks provide a calmer, more controlled environment, reducing anxiety and reactivity.
The walk can be tailored with sniffing, exploring, problem-solving, or games that suit that individual dog.
Encourages mental stimulation, not just physical exercise.
