Walking is an integral part of dog grooming. Most breeds need a lot of space to walk well. Moreover, any breed needs to be walked, and you need to know how much to walk the dog. How to organize this process?
Legislation establishes clearly designated walking areas. There are special sites in European cities. There are no such places in our country, so law enforcement officers are loyal to the fact that they walk with animals everywhere – in the park, near educational institutions.
The law provides for the following points:
- you can not walk at a distance of less than 25 m from residential buildings;
- walking near schools, institutes and other educational institutions is unacceptable;
- it is not allowed to walk with pets near the playgrounds.
Subject to the rules, claims against the owners of four-legged friends will not be put forward.
It is allowed to walk in the excluded area, near the railways, at the landing site. As for the park, you can also walk there with a dog, in a place where people do not walk and there are no cultural and historical structures.
It is necessary to allocate 1-1,5 hours for walking the dog every day. If in a day, then the time needs to be increased. The animal should be calm on the street, not rush at people or fight with other dogs. All this needs to be taught. During the walk, a leash is required. For large breeds – muzzle.
Before you train your animal to walk, you need to do a mindfulness test. He makes the dog understand and teaches the skills to control its behavior. You need to learn to follow the animal – you do not walk the pet, but he you.
The test is as follows: the dog is released into free space and its behavior is monitored. As long as she is in sight, she behaves well. As soon as the owner is out of sight, the dog begins to do whatever he wants.
The dog owner must be able to follow the animal without losing sight of it.
It will also require the organization of walking at a distance. It is necessary to learn how to follow the dog, monitor his actions. The permissible distance is up to 10 m behind the animal. When the dog turns its head towards the owner, you need to stop.
So that the four-legged friend does not run away from the owner, it is important to learn not only to care for him, but also to walk him correctly. There is nothing complicated about it. If you follow simple recommendations, the dog will serve you for a long time.
