History Behind National Walk your Dog Day
National Walk Your Dog Day, not to be mistaken with National Walk Your Dog Week, is celebrated every year on February 22nd. Dating back to the 1960s, the holiday was originally created to encourage owners to have a day dedicated to exercising and spending time with their furry companion. Around this time period is also when professional dog walkers came into the picture since many households had both men and women working, leaving many pups without entertainment or exercise for the majority of the day. Though the origins of day are unclear, it's believed to have been established by pet advocacy groups, animal organizations, or businesses in the pet industry.
