Dog trainers, owners and veterinarians all agree that it is good to take a dog on daily walks.

The rationale behind this fact is not often explained, though.

It is a fact that walking a dog is healthy - it provides exercise for both the dog owner as well as the dog - but the benefits of dog walking extend beyond cardiovascular.

Benefits of a Daily Walk

According to Cesar Millan in his book Cesar's Way [Crown Publishing Group, 2006], dogs have a migratory instinct within them that the daily walk helps to satisfy.

At the same time, the exercise of having the dog walk on a slack leash will reinforce the owner as the pack leader. The importance of being a pack leader is not to dominate the dog, but rather to ensure that the dog listens to the owner and behaves appropriately in all circumstances.

This daily walk needs to be adjusted for the needs of the dog. A high energy dog, such as a Border Collie, should be walked for a longer period of time than a toy breed dog, such as the Yorkshire Terrier.

Walking the Border Collie for an hour will help burn excess energy, while a half hour walk may suffice for the Yorkie.
