Why Choose Barking Trails?
Benefits of Dog Walking
Helps keep your Pup Healthy:
Regular long walks help keep your dog healthy, limber, and agile.
Helps with Weight Control:
An overweight pup is not a healthy pup. To keep your dog in tip-top shape, it’s important to provide them with regular exercise in addition to regulating their diet.
No more Unruliness:
Behaviors such as knocking over furniture or jumping on people can be a sign of pent up energy. Regular walks will help curb this, as well as help their on-leash behavior.
No more Destructive Behavior:
Regular walks, as well as other forms of exercise, can help reduce or eliminate any of your pups destructive chewing, digging, or scratching. Dogs are like children: If you are not giving them something constructive to do, you may not like how they choose to burn their energy.
No more Hyper Activity:
Walks can help to alleviate extra energy your pup may have, calming it down and reducing any hyperactivity, excitability, and even night-time activity. A walk can help your pup to feel more relaxed and sleepy rather than restless at bedtime.
