However, during the walk, the stimulation and aerobic exercise the dog feels has the effect of activating the autonomic nervous system and the brain. The reason why you feel happy when walking is because exercise restores the function of the autonomic nervous system, so that your dog will have a strong appetite, digest well, and sleep better. Dogs that have not been out for walks for a long time will be depressed, more irritable, and more aggressive.

Dogs are social animals that act in groups. For dogs, the place to learn sociality is not only other dogs encountered during walks, but also other people and animals other than family members. The dog must get used to all the sounds and environments around it.
Dogs that don’t go for walks have few opportunities to learn social skills, so they are prone to barking at people other than family members, being afraid of small animals, and other behaviors that cause headaches for their owners.
