But at least when I'm home I can catch lunch with my sister or have dinner with friends or even
take my dogs for a walk in between meetings.
Taking your dog for a walk right after a meal is a great idea because they have a fast metabolism and their bowel time is around 15 - 30 minutes after eating meals.
In most shelters, there are simply not enough volunteers to
take the dogs for walks all the time and most dogs just get used to eliminating in their individual kennels.
Most rescue centers will also allow potential owners to
take dogs for walks giving both the opportunity to get to know each other.
