Walking a dog is an indispensable job for dog owners, but how to walk the dog is correct and plays a good role in the dog's health. Some pet owners may not understand it. The following 6 types of "Chinese-style dog walking" will cause great harm to dogs. I hope the owners will not do it anymore.
1. Walking the dog without leash
The most taboo thing about walking the dog is not to leash. It is not only easy to scare people, but also unable to save the dog in time when danger occurs. It is the most uncivilized way to walk the dog, and it is also a point that dog owners are criticized.
In fact, some children run away when they see a dog and chase after it when they see it. It is very easy to have accidents. Even if it is just a small Teddy , it is risky of hurting people, and you cannot be lucky.
2. If the weather is not good, go out even if you are
Generally, owners will not walk their dogs in harsh environments, but there may be exceptions in everything. When walking your dog on hot days, it is important to note that the ground in the afternoon is also very hot. If you walk for a long time, your dog may burn your feet.
When going out to walk your dog in ice and snow weather, you should also prevent the dog's foot pads from freezing and prevent the dog's shoes from getting into the snow. If you soak your feet in the snow for a long time, it will be harmful to the dog's soles of your feet. After going home, remember to wipe your dog's feet. If it is too wet, blow it dry.
3. Tie the dog leash to the car
Some pet owners sit on bicycles or small tram because they are lazy and do not walk, and let the dogs run afterwards. Some things will even let them run for two or three hours, or continue to rush and run for an hour.
This method of walking dogs is still very large in dog bones. Dogs who often exercise vigorously will wear cartilages in joints, which are prone to arthritis. They will also feel very tired, and they still need to control their speed and time slightly.
4. Go walking your dog when you have time
Walking your dog should be a regular daily activity. Regular walking time is not conducive to dogs developing good habits. In addition, dogs like regular life, eat regularly, walk regularly, and sleep regularly, which will be beneficial to their health.
Walking the dog is too long, which may make the dog's legs and feet sore and uncomfortable.Walking the dog is too short, so it will not be able to help the puppy that enhances physical immunity. Dogs who do not take a walk for a long time and suddenly exercise vigorously also have great health risks.
5. Walk the dog before getting vaccinated
When the puppy is not vaccinated or the vaccine period is not over, it is easy to take the dog out for a walk. There are many bacteria outside and the puppy has poor resistance. If you get sick, you may not be able to withstand it.
So dogs should not go out during the vaccination period. There will be gastrointestinal stress reaction after the injection. You can feed some probiotics to regulate and improve the symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort.
6. Dogs do not clean after urination
Many times people say that dogs are not good. In fact, it is because the dog owner does something wrong. The dog doesn’t urinate and defecate anywhere outside, which ruins the reputation of other people who keep dogs well.
It is best for owners to train their dogs to urinate and defecate at a fixed location, so that they can be cleaned up easily. When training dogs, you can use snacks (such as chicken jerky) as rewards to improve dog cooperation.
Owners should also keep dogs and observe the dog's poop condition. If the dog's poop is very smelly, it may be that it is fed too greasy, which causes inflammation. It is recommended to feed the dog lighter dog food.
Conclusion: Have you made any of the above mistakes?
