Walking around the house is not the same because it's nothing new. Walking is as mental as it is physical. New sights, new smells, etc are all primal instincts of a dog. They were born to walk and follow. Many people will say "he has this huge backyard - he doesn't need walks!" but it's simply not true. Sure, they may get a lot of exercise but it doesn't fulfill their needs. That's just my take on it! |
take them out but be alert , dogs need to smell and explore after all thats the best thing about a dog I think it gets you out and your babies. make sure your babies are wearing harnesses , that way its easier to grab them and pull them up. Just a couple of days ago i was walking my Tia (5.5lbs) and my mums poodle (15lbs) when this staff came bolting towards me, believe me in one swift movement I had both dogs in my arms and left the staff growling at my feet.Not sure who was shaking more , me or the dogs lol
