Do you walk your dog in the rain/snow?

Question

Do you walk your dog in the rain or snow? I got yelled at and called stupid for not walking my dog in the rain. He gets plenty of exercise and is healthy but he just doesn't like walking in the rain.

Answer

I mean, I let my dogs go out in the rain and snow. I'm not going to let them use my house as a bathroom. If they have to go they go out.

Answer

He doesn't like to walk that much, but if he does, it has to be sunny, or else he won't go outside lol

Answer

My dog hates stepping in puddles so she hates walking in the rain too. I'll try to take her out but sometimes she doesn't go far lol. Same with snow, she likes the snow but if it's too cold her paws hurt.

Answer

I walk in both but not all dogs like the rain and snow. I grew up with little dogs and they hated  the rain and snow. It was enough just to get them to go out for a quick pee.

Answer

it is more dog specific. if yours doesn't like it, dont force them to. mine love snow and are ok with rain so that's a day to day kinda deal. But whoever said that to you shouldnt have. one day of no walk won't kill your dog.

Answer

My dog needs to go out a lot due to bladder issues, so I use a heavy duty raincoat. I also was trying to work out 2x a day, and all of June it thunderstorms all day (teacher on vacation). So I just dealt with it. It wasn't as hot than walking in the sun so that was a win.

Answer

I had a dog that loved being out in the snow so I would just let them out in the back yard. We have a big back yard.

Answer

My dogs deathly afraid of the rain so I think it would be cruel to make her walk in it, and when it snows it can hurt the dogs feet, and where I live, in the winter, there's points where you can't leave your dog outside for more than 10 minutes because the air gets so cold it could damage their lungs, and within 20 minutes they could freeze to death
