Every dog is different, I basically let them take the lead within reason. (we won't be chasing squirrels). I can walk or run or take a leisurely stroll, but if I feel that the dog could use a bit more exercise I can teach him to stroll and not stop and sniff every single bush. I'm good at training dogs on the leash. If there's a nice trail in the hills or a park around, I know that dogs love
nature just as much as I do, so that's where we'll want to go. Sometimes they get excited and so I'm happy to run for a bit. We drink water every chance we get and if there are other dogs its nice to be social, but if I feel there's any aggressive behavior we peacefully avoid situations and cross the street or move to the side on a short leash and sit for a bit. Doggie treats are good to have so we can reinforce and reward good behavior. I'm a yoga teacher so we also take stretch breaks. They copy my poses often times. I bring tennis balls or a frisbee so we can play.
