January is the National take your dog for a walk month


January is the National Walk Your Dog Month. There are so many benefits for walking your dog, for them as well as for you:

● Exercise: It's a great way to get physical activity for you & your 🐕 

● Building stronger muscles 

● Weight management. 
    ○ a person can burn approximately 80-100 calories per mile
    ○ a 🐕 can burn approximately. 08/lb of body weight per mile

● Joint Health: walking helps preserve yourself and your 🐕 muscle tone.

● Mental Stimulation: Think about all the new sights, smells, and sounds your 🐕 will experience on your walk

● Boredom Reduction: walking can help prevent your 🐕 from becoming bored & destructive. Walking also helps when we just need to get out, enjoy mother nature and the company of our 🐕 

● Bonding: walking is a great way to strengthen your bond with your 🐕 

● Behavior Training: walking can definitely reduce unwanted behaviors, like excessive barking or whining

So, put on your walking 🚶‍♀️ 👞
