How long shoud I walk with my dog?

I get this question a lot and there is not one single right answer to this question. There are some dogs who are just need to walk three blocks and there are dogs who need to walk a mile.
Remember: The shorter the dog's legs, the less distance he can go. Thats an important point. The breed is also important. Bulldogs as an example are not be able to walk as far as breeds with longer legs.
Also important is the enviroment. Is it very cold or very hot? When it is too hot or too cold you should not walk very long cause it's no fun for the dogs.

An very important factor is the age of the dog. When the dog normally doesn't get much exercise you can't walk or run a very long distance with him. Slow and steady is the better way.

The best way is to observere your dog. The most dog's show when they are tired then he walked far enough.

Babies and Dogs

Today my news are actually pretty old but there is a new study that confirms it.
Babies who live together with pets are healthier that other babies.

Babies who live with a dog are 44% less likely to develop ear infections and 29% less likely to have used antibiotics.
They tested nearly 400 Finnish children during their first years.

Babies who lived with cats are also healthier but the effect was stronger with docs. The researchers think that exposure to dirt and microbes helps to cross-train a
babies immune system.

So parents there is no need to worry when there are pets arround!
