One of the most important moments of the day for dogs is to go out and play. Walking outside is a good relief and release for furry dogs, and allows them time to play and socialize with their companions. Do you really know the best time to walk a dog?

The best time to walk your dog is generally in the early morning or evening, because if it is summer and the overall temperature is higher, it will be slightly cooler in the evening. If it's winter, early morning is the warmest time of the day. Of course, this is not absolute. If you have a larger dog and want to avoid crowds, you can also choose to start walking the dog after 10 p.m. Generally speaking, walking time for small dogs does not exceed half an hour, while for large dogs it takes 1-2 hours.

Generally speaking, most people who walk their dogs in the early morning are elderly people. The most common dog breeds are generally docile small dogs, such as Teddy, Bichon Frize, etc., which are easier to control and can be walked basically once a day. Most of the dog walkers in the evening are young people, basically office workers. They walk their dogs after returning from get off work in the evening. The most common dog breeds are mostly large dogs of relatives such as golden retrievers and border collies. If it is late at night after 10 o'clock, then most of the dog breeds raised require a lot of exercise or have easily excited personalities.
