If the dog keeps walking or walks very slowly, it is very likely that it is because of physical discomfort, and they may feel tired or uncomfortable. Therefore, pet owners should first pay attention to the physical condition of the dog and see if there is any problem with them. If the dog has wounds, swollen feet or discomfort in other parts of the body, it is necessary to take it to see a doctor for treatment and take it for a walk after recovery.

So, pet owners can try different times and places to find ways to walk the dogs like to make them walk more pleasantly.

For example, you can bring dog toys or snacks, constantly encourage them to walk on the road, or run with the dog or play games, etc. During this process, be sure to pay attention to safety and ensure that the dog will not be injured.
4. Give dogs enough rest time. When dogs walk, they need time to rest just like humans. If the pet owner takes the dog for a long journey, the dog may feel tired and unwilling to leave again. Therefore, during the walk, you must give your dog enough rest time, let them drink water, rest, etc., so that they can recover their strength and then continue on the walk.
