Why dogs like to go for walks and what it means
But why do dogs really need long walks?
- First of all, dogs are pack animals and like to be on the move. When dogs were bred in packs, they were forced to constantly move to find food and avoid danger. Going for walks allows them to satisfy their natural need for exercise, stretch and relax.
- Secondly, walking is a great opportunity to experience new smells and discover the world. Dogs have a great sense of smell and like to discover new smells. Walking allows them to get to know their surroundings and get acquainted with new smells.
- Third, walking allows dogs to interact with other dogs and people. For many dogs, meeting other dogs and people while walking is a source of great joy and is an important part of their everyday life.
- Fourth, walking is a great way to prevent boredom in dogs. When dogs are home alone for long periods of time, they may become bored and look for different ways to spend their time, such as chewing furniture or destroying toys. Walking keeps them occupied and gives them something to do.
- Fifth, walking is a great way to prevent behavioral problems in dogs. Dogs that are not active enough and stressed may develop behavioral problems such as destroying furniture or barking.
