Which is better….letting your dog out in the back yard or taking him on a walk? Some may say letting your pup run around in the back yard is better, and it is good, but nothing compares to taking your dog for a nice long walk. During this walk, you and your pup bond (which is very important for new puppy’s or newly adopted dogs). He also gets exercise for he is working both the mind and the body during the walk. He needs to follow your direction while taking in all the smells in the area. When his mind is stimulated and he is actively moving, their anxiety and energy levels decrease, they feel better, and they become easier to train.
