Why does my dog refuse to go for walks when it's raining?

[]

Answer

It's quite common for some dogs to dislike rain or wet weather. Their reluctance could stem from several factors: the sensation of rain on their fur, the smell of damp earth, or even the sound of raindrops can be overwhelming. Some dogs may also have sensitivities if they're older and have arthritis, as dampness can exacerbate joint pain. Try making walks more appealing with a doggy雨披 or raincoat and quick, enticing routes. Positive reinforcement and treats can also help build a positive association. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
