Long Spring Walks

Now Spring is here, there is NO excuse to stay wrapped up inside the comforts of your home; the sun is shining, and the weather is warm. Both you and your dog will thrive outdoors in Spring, and have a joyous time. So make your walks count; make them long and enjoyable.

Walks provide mental and physical stimulation and exercise for your dog - and YOU! Did you realise, that walks benefit humans as well, both physically AND mentally? Getting out of the house, in the glorious fresh air, is good for all involved. So get out there now!

And Ethel behaving also

Walking is also great for training your dog, as well. Puppies especially can benefit from some manners training on walks, and is a special bonding process between your dog and you. By enjoying nice, simple walks, you can do a lot for you and your dog, in every possible way.

  2. We got more snow today, so I'm beginning to believe that we aren't ever going to get joyous spring walks! Glad that you're getting to enjoy some so we can live vicariously through you :)

  3. Spring is the time of year we stay in the most because it is so messy outside. We love being out in the winter best because it is nice and cold and clean. This time of year everyone is out, so we are still out but not as much as in other seasons. Enjoy your walks.

  5. We've been having really gorgeous weather (70s) the past couple of days after rain so prime walking weather. I think there's supposed to be more rain this weekend though.
