The most common question we hear at Walk Fido is "why is it so important to walk my dog"? Many dog owners are so busy, it's hard enough to fit in potty time, feeding time and snuggle time.

Yet, without daily walking, dogs become anxious and are prone to develop behavior problems. Exercise (walking) is the most important part of a dog's health. In the wild, dogs roam for miles every day and that natural instinct to roam is still present in all dogs -- even yours. All dogs have different levels of energy -- but even dogs with the lowest amount of energy need at least an hour of continuous exercise a day, most experts agree.

A tired dog is a well-behaved dog. Through regular walking, many behavior issues can begin to be resolved -- after a long walk, your dog is in a calm state of mind and is more receptive to training and behavior corrections.

Walking your dog in downtown Los Angeles can be a challenge. Many new residents aren't yet familiar with the area, and those who are know there are very few potty spots and play spots in the area! Walk Fido knows all the spots.
