Dogs can’t stand the hot weather in summer, and the temperature will drop slightly at night. It’s a good time to take your dog out for a walk. So, how to take your dog for a walk correctly?

Generally speaking, it is more appropriate for small dogs to take a walk for about 20-30 minutes a day, while for medium-sized dogs, it only takes about 30-40 minutes a day. If you have a large dog weighing more than 70 or 80 pounds, If you have a dog, you basically have to walk for almost an hour every day.

1. The dog’s daily walk time should not be too short

If there is not enough outdoor exercise, the dog's energy will not be consumed, and it will be easy to look for things to vent excess energy when brought at home. But don’t think that when dogs go out to play, the more Han Xin leads the better, the better. Staying outside for too long may not be a good thing for your dog. Playing for a long time can easily make the dog lose focus and play wildly, which is not conducive to education.

It is important to take walks every day. Friends who prefer Arnold Schwarzenegger's movies can recall that in "True Lies" filmed by this big guy, even though it was pouring rain outside, this guy was wearing a raincoat and taking his puppy out for a walk. Of course, in fact He was looking for an excuse to go out and meet with the intelligence officer who was spying on his wife. But it cannot be denied that his excuse is really reasonable! He is really born to be a spy.

2. Middle-aged and elderly dogs should pay attention to walking time

Dogs entering middle-aged and old age should pay attention when walking the dog and should not do exercises that make their heartbeat and breathing very fast and for a long time. When breathing and heartbeat remain very fast for several minutes or more than ten minutes, it is easy to cause myocardial hypoxia and hypoxia in many tissues throughout the body.

For example, a person's normal walking speed is about six kilometers an hour, and his heartbeat and breathing are not too strenuous. When he switches to jogging, the calorie consumption increases by about 60%, but the oxygen consumption of the heart muscle increases two to three times. Therefore, for middle-aged and elderly dogs and people, the only benefit of running is to increase calorie consumption in a limited time.
