The sharing of enriching moments, from an emotional and experiential point of view, is the basic principle for which the "walk with the dog”, Represents an activity, not only playful and motor, but also significantly educational.
Opportunity of relationship between man and dog
These activities represent an opportunity for both the canine and the human component individual and group growth, based on tangible experiences, in relation to stimuli coming from within the group and from the environment.
In fact, the speed with which each individual modifies his behavioral patterns in relation to the members of the group and the context in which he is inserted is palpable. In these situations the social dynamics they take on a predominant role making the group a single element that relates to the outside world and where, as a consequence, conflict actually represents an obstacle.
The walk as fun
However, it is important to keep in mind that the proposed experience must never be a forcing, let us not forget that our desire to stimulate the dog's social skills often leads us to force him into situations and groups that for various reasons he would avoid.
Precisely for this reason, many educators propose educational walks and socializing, such as those proposed within the project "Amarok - The Spirit of the Wolf ”(Hobbit Camp ASD Cinofila): the trained groups never exceed 5 elements and each participant is previously assessed, individually and in relation to the others, by expert and competent instructors in the behavioral field.
Ultimately the walk with the dog, if well organized, it represents an opportunity for recreation, a motor activity and above all a moment of socialization through which to strengthen existing relationship ties and build new ones.
