Start claiming territory in your neighbourhood
Begin with the streets you already walk. Colour them in, close a few blocks, then expand one street at a time.
Dog walking motivation: habits that survive busy weeks
Wanting to walk more is easy on Sunday night. Tuesday at 7pm is where habits go to die.
Shrink the default
A guaranteed 15-minute loop beats a cancelled "proper" hour. Length can grow when life allows — see how long a walk should be.
Anchor it
Same cue every day: after coffee, after work bag-drop, before dinner. Pair with time-of-day choices that fit your household.
Make it interesting
New streets, sniffaris, or a game. Streaks help some people; read streaks that stick when you want the deeper dive.
Social accountability
A pack walk date on the calendar outperforms vague good intentions. Packs in Patch exist for that reason.
