No. 3: Walk the Dog
Many dog owners, exhausted from day-to-day life, often skip walks in favor of letting a pet run around in the backyard. Many fail to realize that a short walk around the block (waste bags in hand, of course) can be soothing for canine and human alike. For owners, the walk is a time to decompress from the stressors of work, traffic and the like. The next time you head out for a stroll, take a cue from Fido. Rather than chatting on your cell phone or rushing the experience, choose instead to indulge your senses by breathing in the fresh air and observing nature. Owners of tiny dogs or puppies should reign in their enthusiasm, as some breeds' little legs can’t handle long distances. This daily quality time easily allows owners and dogs the opportunity to reconnect with each other.
