Did you know that January is Walk Your Dog month? The vast majority of dog owners tend to walk their dog close to their home. In 2020 with all the lockdown restrictions and advice to restrict unnecessary travel, we all tended to stay closer to home for our daily dog walks. With the prospect of a lightening of restrictions ahead, thanks to vaccine rollouts, many of us will want to start going further afield later on in 2021. Why not start planning for these new walks now? We list 5 sources of inspiration for great walking opportunities around the US – maybe some of them would be suitable for you and your pup!
