A term coined by dog trainer Sarah Stremming, dog decompression walks are a brilliant way to calm your dog.
A decompression walk is "a walk where the dog is allowed freedom of movement in nature" (Sarah Stremming). This may be in the bush, a quiet beach, a large park, sports field, or other large open area. Look for a place with little to no people or pet traffic nearby as this will help them to decompress.
Either off lead or on a harness and long-line, allow your dog to sniff and explore until its heart's content.
AMAZING BENEFITS: Not all exercise is equal. Unlike ball chasing, decompression walks provide both physical AND mental exercise which helps your dog to feel more balanced and calm.
