Dog Walking Tips for Busy London Professionals
Long days, short evenings and a dog who still deserves a great day. Here's how to make it work.
By The Dog & District Team ·
Working full time in London and having a happy, well-exercised dog is absolutely possible. It just takes a bit of planning.
Make mornings count
Even 15 minutes of sniffing before work can help your dog settle for the day. A quick puzzle feeder or scatter-feed breakfast adds brain work without adding time.
Break up the day
Most adult dogs shouldn't be left alone all day. A midday walk or visit gives a toilet break, company and exercise, and it often means a calmer evening for you both.
Plan for the unexpected
Trains get delayed and meetings overrun. Have a back-up plan in place, whether that's a neighbour, a friend or a regular walker who already knows your dog.
Weekends are for adventures
Use weekends for longer outings and new places to explore. Variety keeps life interesting for your dog, and it's good for you too.
