What are the benefits of walking the dog every day?

Now turn on every pet channel, and most authors and netizens will advise dog owners to walk their dogs every day. Even so, many people don't take their dogs out for a walk every day. According to a questionnaire survey conducted by the American pet company Pet360, only 56% people in the United States with a large number of dogs will walk their dogs at least once a day, while 33% owners rarely and irregularly take their dogs out for a walk. In fact, we suggest walking the dog every day, not only for the dog, but also for the owner to become healthy and happy by raising the dog. Next, let's take stock of the five benefits of walking the dog to people.

1. Controlling weight and protecting the health of digestive system It is very unhealthy for people to be overweight, and the accumulation of fat will lead to many diseases. Besides dieting, the best way to lose weight is to exercise regularly, and walking the dog is one of the good choices. During exercise, our intestines and stomach will also be exercised, thus protecting the health of our digestive system.

2. Relieve your mood. Whether people or other animals, the brain will secrete dopamine as a reward after exercise. People will feel relaxed and happy under the action of dopamine. The secretion of dopamine usually occurs after 30 minutes of exercise. As long as we check the dog for three minutes every day, we can reap the positive energy the next day.

3. Strengthen the connection between people and dogs. No matter what kind of feelings, it takes time and companionship to precipitate. Walking the dog every day is a rare time for the owner and the dog to be alone in a day. Giving dogs more time alone and interacting with dogs is a way to make dogs and their owners closer. If you insist on taking your dog out for a walk every day, you won't complain that the dog is not near you.

4. Save money to correct the dog's bad behavior. In fact, a large part of the dog's bad behavior is caused by the lack of exercise and fixed entertainment. If the owner can insist on taking the dog out for a walk every day, there is no need to spend extra money on dog trainer to correct those bad behaviors that disappear because of the fixed walking time.

It is actually a good social activity to give the owner a chance to socialize and walk the dog together. At the same time, the owner can also join some clubs or organizations that walk the dog together to expand his social circle. Even if you don't take the initiative to socialize, if your dog is friendly to other people's dogs, you will have a new friend after walking your dog for a long time.

Walking the dog is actually a good thing. We only say that it is good for human beings, but it is much better for dogs than humans. Although I fully understand the feeling that the owner doesn't want to walk the dog after work, in fact, you can get used to this situation after 30 days. At that time, I might feel a little uncomfortable because I forgot to walk my dog.
