There is an opinion among dog breeders that the bigger the dog, the more trouble it is. And vice versa, the smaller it is, the less fuss it is with the pet.

Perhaps this is how the idea emerged that miniature dogs do not necessarily need to be walked outside every day.

Whether this is true or not, the dog handler explained.

There are many myths that have developed around small pets, for example, that you don’t need to walk them. But I’m afraid to disappoint you, any dog needs to go for walks, regardless of its size, Vladimir Golubev, head of the Russian Cynological Federation, told RIA Novosti in an interview.

According to the specialist, such neglect of the dog’s needs is not only wrong, but also harmful to the animal’s physical and psychological health.

As for the misconceptions that make people rush to get a small dog, the dog trainer was quick to disappoint here too.

It turns out that this is a fundamentally incorrect judgment.

In fact, miniature dogs require even more attention than large dogs.

This trait is especially evident in the cold season, when the dog has to be dressed up before going for a walk.
