Dog Parent Rants On Reddit About Unrealistic Dog Walking Expectations From Shamers

In our humble opinion, dogs are incredible creatures that may just be too good for this world. And thus, it is our responsibility to protect and care for them. We have to feed them a proper diet, caress them, show love and affection, and, we have to walk them. We gotta get em to exercise so that they grow into big healthy good dog adults.

Which brings us to today's doggo discussion: What are the rules of walking a dog? And should they be universally applicable to all dogs of all breeds, shapes, and sizes? Well, yes and no. There are universal rules which all puppy parents should follow… like carrying poop bags to pick up after your dog and… that's actually it. Everything else depends on the dog's personality, breed, and other personal needs. Think of it this way, just like you can't use one dog leash or harness on every dog out there, you can't apply the same walking rules for every dog out there. Some dogs require more exercise and others require less. Parenting is about finding the perfect balance.

Say it louder for the people in the back! Nowadays, people will shame you for just about anything. Ever heard of mommy shamers? A.k.a. people who shame working mothers who are just trying to support their families? Well, it looks like there are now puppy parent shamers. What a shame.

It's sad that many people jump to conclusions so quickly. Many factors go into dog parenting, and immense research should be done before getting a good boi to come home with you. One of them should be how much exercise the dog needs. If it aligns with how much time you have to dedicate to the dog, then you shouldn't give in to judgment from other people.
