More isn’t always better when it comes to walking your dog.
High-energy, long walks can actually stress your dog out — especially once their physical energy reserves are depleted. That’s when their body starts releasing cortisol, the stress hormone.

Sniffing walks (yes, those slow ones where they smell everything) are far more beneficial. They:
• Calm the nervous system
• Offer mental enrichment
• Support better behaviour at home

Let them sniff, explore, and slow down. It’s the best kind of walk.

🧠 Excitement vs. Stress in Dogs: Same Body, Different Label! 🐾

Did you know that excitement and stress trigger the same physiological responses in dogs?

Whether your dog is over-the-moon happy to see you or anxious about the postman, their body reacts in very similar ways:

➡️ Increased heart rate
➡️ Elevated adrenaline & cortisol
➡️ Heightened alertness
➡️ Muscle tension

The difference? It's all about context and how we interpret it.

What we call "happy excitement" can still lead to over-arousal, difficulty settling, and even reactive behaviour — just like stress can.

That’s why it’s important to help dogs:
✔️ Learn calm greetings
✔️ Wind down after exciting activities
✔️ Build emotional resilience — not just obedience

Calm doesn’t mean boring — it means balanced.
A well-regulated dog is a happy dog. 💛

Have you noticed your dog struggling to calm down after exciting moments? Let’s chat! 👇

🐾 Why Stress Recovery Matters for Your Dog 🐾

Did you know that cortisol—the hormone released during stress—has a half-life of around 20 minutes? That means it takes 20 minutes for levels to drop by half after a stressful event.

Now imagine if your dog is feeling constantly stressed or anxious… their cortisol levels could be up to four times higher than normal. And when they feel insecure or uncertain, those levels can rise even more 😟

👉 This is why, when a dog has been triggered into a fight or flight response during a walk, we always recommend skipping their walk the following day. Their body needs time to come down from that heightened state and fully recover.

Allowing space for rest helps prevent stress from building up and supports their emotional wellbeing long-term 💛
