Next comes the cool down!<\/p><p>This is the part of the walk I like to take a little slower. It could simply be a slower stroll back home, however to provide further mental stimulation you may want to consider using this time to, if appropriate, allow your dog to socialise with other dogs and people. Alternatively, as you will see in this video, you can also use this time to play some mental stimulation games with your dog such as the \u2018find it\u2019 game.<\/p><p>Whichever activity you choose, keep it slow paced and enjoyable for your dog, picking an activity that suits your dog\u2019s age, breed and temperament. You can complete this part of walk on a lead, long line or even off lead if you have a good recall.<\/p><p>Let me know if you give it a
