In a society with long working hours, a dog's ability to behave in shared spaces is crucial. It is not just about having more pet-friendly areas, but about ensuring animals are used to noise and crowds. This training allows pets to join their owners in various situations without causing disruption.
The story of Matcha, an Airedale Terrier, highlights this trend. Her owner, Covadonga, takes her to the gym where the dog waits calmly during workouts. She believes that early exposure to restaurants and sports centers is fundamental for the animal to understand behavioral rules.
“"The sooner a dog gets used to restaurants, walks, trips, or sports centers, the sooner it understands how to behave."
Similarly, Pablo, a tech worker, spends his time outside the office with his two dogs, even taking them to the gym. However, experts note that while education is key, owners must always prioritize the animal's well-being and decide when it is truly appropriate for them to tag along.
