Walking your dog

Since your walking 20 minutes (1 mile) every day, you might be a bit frustrated with your dog. She's likely a pain in the butt on your walks: stopping/sniffing/pulling a lot. She'll get the idea pretty quick if you stick with it.

Here are my three suggestions for walking with your dog:
use a harness. This will keep the leash up where she won't trip or tangle as much

use a short leash. The long retractable leashes encourage her to stop and smell the roses.

hold her leash in your left hand. You're likely right-handed, holding her leash will actually excercise your left arm whole you walk. It's also proper form to hold the leash on the left.
