Inclement weather can be a hindrance to walking even the most outdoor-loving dog.

There are a few tricks that will help you persuade the animal.

How to Walk a Dog in the Rain

Skipping a walk because of rain can seriously affect your pet's health. Therefore, it is better to accustom your dog to bad weather while it is still a puppy.

First, try taking your dog outside for a few minutes, then be sure to wash him thoroughly, paying attention to his paws.

After this, it is recommended to dry the dog's fur: this way the dog will know that no matter how bad the weather is, you will not let him walk around wet.

Secondly, it is worth considering purchasing a special raincoat. Of course, not every animal will be able to get used to an accessory that may seem strange to it.

Therefore, before buying, it is worth letting your dog try on a waterproof jacket to see if he can walk in it.

The same applies to paws: you should think about purchasing special rubber boots for your pet.
