My dog likes to have a cup of water waiting for him in my car because that's when he is ready for a drink, I tried bringing a container for water he dumped the water and carried the container around until I was able to get it away and I do carry a bottle of water and a container with me when it is hot, just in case. I also like to give doggie massages on occasion. I am looking into CPR for pets and getting certified. I am more about the comfort of the dog if the dog needs a break we take a break and let them rest and then continue on the walk, I like to know if a dog is very social or not my dog is very social and getting attention from anyone is the highlight of his walk and when he gets to meet another dog that's even better
