I've never understood people who don't want their dog to sniff while they're walking.

Unless you have some kind of urgent schedule to follow right after the walk, and need to get home right now to meet it, just let the dog do its thing. He wants to sniff, it's his walk, let him hang out and sniff.

Sometimes my dog would start LICKING the piss spot. I was more than happy to let him rummage around the various odiferous bouquets of his fellow canines’ signature jettisons, but after a while I’d have to pull him back. Sometimes he’d sniff then roll around in something absolutely putrid, leaving both of us with an unpleasant cleaning session later.

I miss that little guy.

2 dogs. One will sniff every 5 feet while the other is trying to get her walk on.

She still gets to sniff a lot, but we try to get some distance in as well.

Yeah same. Let's keep this trip to under an hour. We dont need 4 minutes on every bush.
