Walking a dog together is a great pastime for any member of the family. Most kids love to be the Little Owner and lead the family’s four-legged pet with immense pride. Kids feel that walking their dog is a big responsibility, and somehow dogs know that they need to pay more attention and be more careful.
JK9® Paw Patrol dog harnesses now make these walks even more exciting! Thanks to these harnesses, kids can dress up their four-legged friend in the colours of their favourite cartoon characters and walk them like a true hero. It’s no problem if the family dog isn’t the same breed as one of the Paw Patrol characters, because any dog can be as brave as Chase or as fun as Marshall!
During the joint walks, we can lay the groundwork for our children to become responsible dog keepers in the future. Kids are very receptive and copy everything from their parents. So if we set a good example, it will be natural for them to be considerate of others, whether they are dog people or not.
Always pay close attention to safety during family walks because odours or other four-legged ones can easily distract your pet. Let’s use two leashes instead, and while we give one to our child, we keep the other. In the case of a large dog, instead of an extra leash, we can also hold the handle of the harness, ensuring that they do not accidentally make their Little Owner trip.
