49. Should Kids Be Allowed To Walk the Dog Alone?
Show Notes

In today's episode of The Pooch Parenting Podcast, I answer a question that I hear quite often: should kids be allowed to walk the dog alone? And if so, how old should kids be before they can walk the dog by themselves?

We consider:

  • Safety concerns for the child and dog
  • Outcomes of the walk
  • Developmental stage of child and dog

Thank you for listening!
