THE WALK--THE BEST THING FOR YOU AND YOUR DOG

4/16/2016

0 Comments

 
As a dog trainer, the best thing you can do is walk with your dog. I feel most people assume that we all want what’s best for our dogs, all the time. We make sure they’re properly fed and have enough water. We take them to the vet regularly. We keep them clean and groomed.

All of these things are necessary, but there’s one area where people are sometimes lacking, whether it’s because of time, physical issues, the weather outside, and so on — so the most important thing we can do for our dogs doesn’t get done.  That is a walk or some kind of daily exercise with their guardian. This is a shame, because daily exercise with their parent or guardian is one of the most important things for your dog.

Take your dog for a walk.

If you can’t do it right now, do it as soon as you can, and do it at least two times a day, every day.

This is the single most important thing you can do to give your dog the best, which is to keep them balanced. A balanced dog is a happy dog, and humans with happy dogs are happy leaders.

I know that some people think that their dogs get enough exercise because they have a big yard to play in, but that isn’t the same for two reasons. First is that playing in the yard is not structured and it can actually make a dog more excitable and hyperactive because they aren’t getting the proper bonding time and exercise. Second is that there’s a lot more to the walk than just exercise.

Here are five benefits of walking your dog every day:

  1. It’s Relaxing
    The first part of my recommendations is exercise, and the walk is the best way for your dog to get it. Exercise helps drain excess energy to bring her to a calm-submissive state, and it will help keep her from misbehaving because of that extra energy. If you have a dog that’s always racing around the house or chewing up your favorite shoes, you have a dog that’s telling you she hasn’t had enough exercise.  This causes a dog to become stressed and anxious.
  2. It’s Healthy
    Obesity isn’t just a human problem. According to a recent survey, nearly 53% of dogs in the United States are overweight, and they’re overweight for the same reason that humans are: they take in more calories than they use up. This is particularly the case for dog owners who associate food with affection, and indulge their dogs with too many treats, or feed them too many carbohydrates.  The main source of carbohydrates in the dogs diet comes from kibble and over processed canned food.

    In reality, healthy dogs do not actually need to eat every single day, in the wild the pack only ate when the hunt was successful. This doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t feed our dogs every day — routine is important — but we should keep an watch their weight, treats and carbohydrates. The regular daily walks will help burn up those extra calories for both you and your dog and it will keep you relaxed and more stress free.
  3. It’s Socializing
    People who never get out of the house can live isolated lives with few friends, and dogs are the same. On the walk, you’re both likely to run into other humans or dogs, and the more your dog is exposed to other beings, the more social he will become as he gets used to making new friends and gets more comfortable with the old ones. 

    Sharing new experiences with your dog on the walk can help build his self-confidence and reduce things like anxiety, stress or fearfulness. The more often the two of you encounter new things with calmly, the easier it is for your dog to learn to be calm.
  4. It’s bonding time for you both and this is very important.  Do not listen to your music or chat on the phone.  Just be totally present with your dog.
  5. The most important aspect of the walk, when done properly, is that it is a great training tool, and training time also exercises the brain which also calms the dog. This bond will help with every other aspect of your relationship with your dog.  

    If you’re a calm-balance leader on the walk, then you will be one where ever you go with your dog because you will have earned her trust, respect, and love. 
  6. It’s Good for You
    All of the reasons above also apply to you. A nice, calm walk can be very relaxing to humans, and it gives us an opportunity to unwind or just enjoy the beauty of nature. The health benefits of exercise that your dog receives are good for you, too, and the socializing you can do with friends and neighbors is great for your mental health.

    And don’t forget that the bonding works both ways. As your dog learns to trust you, you will learn to read his body language and energy. This will teach you how to communicate the way animals do do — through energy.
Here are five great reasons to take your dog for a walk every single day. As a balanced pack, it’s the best thing you can do for them.

Be Balanced in your energy and calm, keep walking for you and your dogs will love it!

DISCLAIMER: I, Mary DeRoche, am not a veterinarian and do not practice medicine.  I do not diagnose, cure, heal, treat disease or otherwise prescribe medication.  I assist people in working with their animals in correcting energetic imbalances in their pet’s bio-field that assists the body to release its innate healing ability.  When the energy of the body is balanced and moving correctly, the body’s innate natural energy heals itself.  All healing is self-healing.  Animals are affected by their environment so I also include the pet owners in my work.  Animals do pick up energy from their owners.   I only recommend the use of therapeutic grade essential oils for your pets because therapeutic grade  essential oils have been tested to guarantee that they are free of synthetics, additives, toxins and any other impurities, which can result in side effects and/or inconsistent results. Essential oils and supplements are recommendations to help boost the pet’s immune system.
I recommend that clients continue to see their pet’s regular veterinarian and follow their advice and my work is a complement to regular allopathic medicine.  My spiritual energy work is not a substitute for conventional medical diagnosis or treatment for any medical or psychological condition.  For such issues, you should seek the proper licensed veterinarian.  I am a Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner and a Subtle Energy Practitioner and my work is spiritually and energetically based and I believe all healing is spiritual in nature. I do not make any promises, warranties or guarantees about results of my work, or of the energy sessions.  The energy sessions help many animals but like any energy work  it might not work for everyone.  The use of essential oils, herbs and supplements is to assist the pet with balancing chakra centers for proper energy flow or chi.
