When it comes to dog walking, every novice owner has a compulsory lesson to take. Especially for owners who have an energetic and smiling "Smiling Angel" Samoyed, this class requires extra care and patience. The Samoyed is not just a large dog with a cute appearance and a gentle personality, it is also a dog breed that is full of energy and needs a lot of exercise. So, how can you make sure that every visit to Samoyed is an enjoyable experience, not a contest of strength or a mental challenge?
Here are five things to do before walking Samoyed, each of which is a manifestation of love and responsibility for Samoyed and its owner.
1.Make sure Samoyed is fit to go out.
Before deciding to take a Samoyed out, it is first necessary to assess its health. Has Samoyed received all the necessary vaccinations?Have you had any recent unusual health conditions, such as indigestion, illness, or slow movement?Only by confirming that Samoyed is in good health can you be sure that it will not encounter accidents during outdoor activities.
2.Use appropriate dog walking gear.
Choosing a strong, comfortable leash for Samoyed is crucial. Since Samoyeds are large dogs, their strength can be a bit unexpected for many novice owners. Therefore, a leash that can control the Samoyed at the necessary moments, as well as a chest strap or collar that will keep it safe without causing discomfort to it, is essential. Sometimes, using a special dog walking gear, such as a pull-resistant harness, can also help control the Samoyed's direction of movement and reduce the sudden force of excitement or curiosity.
3.Understand and anticipate your environment.
Before taking Samoyed out, it is very necessary to know what the weather will be like on that day. Although Samoyed is hardy, it can be difficult to move for long periods of time in hot weather. In addition, planning your dog walking route ahead of time and avoiding crowded or environments that may trigger a Samoyed excitement, such as areas with other animals, can reduce unnecessary trouble.
4.Conduct basic training in advance.
An obedient Samoyed who is able to follow basic commands will make walking the dog a breeze and enjoyable. Therefore, before walking the Samoyed, it is very necessary to train it in basic instructions such as sitting, waiting, and following. Positive reinforcement training methods, such as bonus treats or toys, can help you take better control of the situation while walking your dog.
5.Prepare items for emergencies.
Even the most cautious and careful preparation does not guarantee that you will never encounter accidents when you go out. Therefore, it is very essential to carry with you some items for emergency response, such as water, poop bags, basic first aid supplies, and even a medical information card for Samoyed.
We may be greeted by a bustling crowd or a wide suburban road, but for Samoyed, every occasion is an opportunity to explore the world with its host. In this shared adventure, every preparation of the master is a deep love for Samoyed.
However, even with all the preparations, walking Samoyed can still encounter unexpected challenges. For example, sudden weather changes, or unexpected encounters with unfamiliar dog breeds, these can bring new tests to Samoyed and its owner. But what kind of challenges await us in our next adventure? Let us face the challenges hand in hand with our deep love for Samoyed and look forward to the unknown tomorrow together.
