Ask any dog owner who’s been through a couple winters and they’ll usually say the same thing, winter weather really changes dog walking in ways you don’t fully clock until you’re actually out there in it. It’s not just the cold, it’s everything piled on top of that. Snow covering up the usual routes, sidewalks getting icy and a bit sketchy, daylight disappearing way too fast, and just this overall feeling that being outside isn’t as easy or relaxed as it is most of the year.
