Day 12- Dark walks

With winter setting in we are now seeing very dark mornings and evenings. It is important that both you and your dog are visible if you are walking in the dark and not relying on street lights or car headlights to make you visible.

There are many lights available for our dogs, either as a collar, LED attachment to their usual collar or even high-vis jackets to ensure your dogs are being seen and as the Human you can also wear high-vis and carry a torch.

Try and keep to the streets where possible and avoid open spaces where few people are, there are horror stories. If you have someone willing to go with you then don’t walk alone, make sure you stay safe. If at any time you are concerned about taking your dog out in the dark on your own, do some enrichment activities with them instead and stay safe.
