Why Have Dogs Gotta Walk?

Here at Houndjog we're very big on dog walking.  All dogs, regardless of size or breed, need daily walks.  Walking is a vital ritual in the dog world and keeps your dog mentally stable. Your dog is a traveler by instinct, and the first thing he or she needs to do in the morning is get up and walk.   Leaving your dog in a yard all day, or taking them to a dog park, is not going to satisfy this instinct.

Here's what Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer, says: "To your dog, your back yard is like a large fish bowl in which they are trapped. Fish swim, birds fly and dogs walk. Having a dog should not be about only fulfilling our human needs; we owe it to our dogs to give them what THEY instinctually need."

Unfortunately most dogs are under-exercised, and after a hard day at work or a busy day at home, walking your dog can become a chore rather than a joy.  For your dog to be mentally stable they need at least one long daily walk to release their mental and physical energy, and we can help you make sure they get it.  At HoundJog we are committed to the well-being of the Beacon and Dutchess County dogs in our care, to helping them achieve happy, balanced and long lives and to providing a first class service to you, their dog parents.
