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.
