We think the answers will benefit fellow Stylish Hounds and their humans, so we’ve created this space especially for you to share.
Have you heard of ‘loose-lead walking’? It’s a fancy dog training term for something very ordinary. Loose-lead walking is the technical term for ‘walking down the street WITHOUT your dog dragging you over to every tree and mailbox, and pulling after every dog, person, car and bicycle’.

How Much Exercise Does a Dog Need?
When it comes to the question of how much exercise a dog will need, there is a long answer and a short answer. The short answer? Dogs, as a collective, will need between half an hour to two hours of daily exercise. If you have a smaller dog, half an hour to one hour per day will suffice. Larger dogs, on the other hand, will want anywhere between one to two hours per day.

Dog Breed Traits
What breed of dog do you have? If you have a purebred, this is an easy question to answer. If your dog’s heritage is unknown - maybe your dog was from a shelter or rescue, or originally a stray - you might find that question a little harder. But you probably have a good guess based on your dog’s looks and behaviour.

WALKING THE NO-PULL WAY
Taking your dog on daily walks should be just that, you take your dog on a walk and not the other way around. Having a dog that constantly drags you around by pulling on its leash can make daily walks unpleasant and at times, feel more like a water-skiing activity. However, with the right tools, consistency and treats up your sleeve, you can correct this behavior, and who knows, daily walks with your furry bestie may suddenly become the highlight of your day.
