A dog trainer explained how to properly walk a dog in cold weather: remembering the proverb
Cynologists recalled the old proverb that a good owner does not throw his dog out into the street in bad weather, and told how to walk your pet in bitter cold.
It is important to remember that the presence of fur on the pet's body does not mean that the animal can sleep in a snowdrift in winter.
Choose warmer periods of the day for walks. This is the time from about midday to lunch. Come up with active games, accustom it to clothes and always return home as soon as you notice that the dog is cold, - Vladimir Golubev, President of the Russian Cynological Federation, told AGN "Moscow".
In addition to carefully choosing clothes and time of day for walking, the dog trainer gave some useful advice to dog owners.
In particular, Golubev recommends loading your pet during a walk so that the dog is interested in the street.
To do this, you can hide toys or treats along the way and give the dog the command to look for these objects.
Such activities are useful for the intellectual development of the pet, and in general the load is only beneficial.
As for the duration of the walk, the expert sees no reason for strict time restrictions.
You need to carefully monitor your pet's behavior.
If the dog starts to shake, it's time to end the walk and go home. However, you can't deprive the dog of the right to decide how long it wants to walk outside.
