Good morning! We're doing some long line walking today.
Long line is a great alternative when your dog can't be let off lead. I offer adventure walks, when I take your pooch to a different locations where they get plenty of enrichment by interacting with new smells and environment. We can walk on a long line, so your dog has more freedom 🐾
Walks on a long line can boost your dog's confidence, as they have the opportunity to chose where they go. It also gives them sense of independance, which is so important.
For most of the day, we decide what and when they do. When is walkies time, when is breakfast, when we play and when they should snooze, because we've got other things we need to do.
It's incredible to give them agency to chose, how the walk is going to look like.
Walking on a long line also has health benefits. Being a little further away from you, and not being led all the time can have calming effects and lower your dogs heart rate. They can sniff more, and we know that sense of smell is their primary way of gathering information.
That type of walk, even short one, can tire them out in a good way, by letting them use their brain more.
Long lines can be tricky though. You need to be careful, so no one gets tangled in that lead, and make sure to use appropriate equipment, when chosing this type of line. This should be a comfortable for your dog harness. Not a collar or a head collar, so they dont accidentally hurt their delicate neck ❤️🐾
Give me a shout if you'd like your pup to go on long line, enriching adventures 🌲🐕
