The first few minutes outside can set the tone for the whole walk. Start with a slower block, let your dog sniff, and save the brisk pace for after they have settled in.
|
|
|
|
## Try this simple reset
|
|
|
|
1. Fill the water bowl before leaving.
|
|
2. Give your dog a minute to look and sniff near home.
|
|
3. Keep the first turn predictable, then add a little variety later.
|
|
|
|
Small routines make the end of a busy day feel calmer for everyone.
