I wanted to let you know I’ve a couple days late in letting you know October 1 – 7 is National Walk Your Dog Week. I don’t know about you but having a Dog is a good way to help us out when trying to lose #weight because they need to go on walks a couple times a day if you don’t have a yard which at the moment we don’t have.
I wonder if I could get the neighbors who have Dogs in our Complex to start a Dog Walking Club and we could walk through the neighborhood twice a day. We could end our walk at the Dog Park so the Dogs could run and play.
Its time to get up and moving Pheobie my Puppy says and she has been reminding me of this this morning while I’ve been trying to work. If I can’t get the neighbors and Charlie and his Dog Bear to walk with me would you want to walk with me? You don’t have to have a #Dog I will share Pheobie with you.
National Walk Your Dog Week is observed between October 1 to 7. Is your Pooch a fan of getting outdoors and taking a walk? If that is the case, National Walk Your Dog Week is an ideal time to play outdoors.
You and your Dog may join a nationwide celebration highlighting the advantages of walking together. Therefore, it is time to get out those shoes and prepare your Puppy’s paw pads for National Walk Your Dog Week. This time serves as a reminder to Dog owners that exercise is critical for the health of their Canine companions.
Beginning October 1st for a whole week, you and your lovely Dog can join a nation of Dog owners in celebrating the many benefits of walking together. This is all thanks to Colleen Paige, a Pet expert, who launched Walk Your Dog Week in 2010.
The idea was to raise awareness of Canine obesity and Canine behavior in the U.S. Paige had initially planned for National Walk Youd Dog Week to be a one-day holiday but Paige determined that a single day would not be sufficient time to get people’s Dogs into a pattern and assist both their Pets and their owners in changing their habits. Paige hoped that when people saw how their Dogs had changed, they would continue to care for them and look forward to spending time walking there Dogs.
Not walking our Dogs may result in destructive behavior, which, along with the Dog’s loneliness and boredom, can lead to a variety of medical conditions including Diabetes, among other illnesses. As a result, walking your Dog may help reduce medical problems and destructive behavior in Dogs while also improving their general health and ours as well.
National Walk Your Dog Week was created out of a consideration for Dogs and their well-being since, for many Dog lovers, these creatures are a big part of their lives and leave lasting memories on individuals of all ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
