Anyone want a support system for people struggling to walk their dogs?

[Befop]

I have 3 small breed dogs all over age 6.

In the last few years my anxiety has taken over to the point I'd say Im agoraphobic.

My dogs are little and don't need a huge walk so I'm just going to try and take them out everyday.

It also doesn't help that years ago my dog was attacked and ended up getting run over after escaping from attacking dog.

So I'm scared to go parks etc now.

A few days ago I took them park and TWO separate people let their dogs run over unleashed.

And I literally shake because I think it's going to happen again.

But my dogs deserve a walk everyday. Even if it's just the streets, not park

They're so spoilt. Best raw food diets. Probiotics Toys. Snuffle mats. Licky mats. We spend all day playing and cuddling but a walk is important.

I have to try harder.

How are you doing op?

Hi,

I'm not gonna lie and say they've been out everyday because we haven't been out today (snow) and yesterday but they're absolutely getting more walks.

I'm taking them to the park tomorrow as I have a friend round so she can help.

That is an awesome update OP. Even if you only manage once a week that is still more than what they were getting. A little improvement is better than none.

Hopefully you are feeling better too by leaving the house and getting some fresh (and freezing cold) air into those lungs. Funny how a good walk can shake those cobwebs out.
