There are benefits for dogs and their owners to spend time running or walking.
Justin Anderson, of Washougal, said his 4-month-old goldendoodle, Kirby behaves better with a walk.
“He is calmer at the house, after a walk,” Anderson said.
They were recently walking at the Donald and Angeline Stevenson Off Leash Area, at 32nd and Addy streets in Washougal.
“He is a sweet guy,” Anderson said, regarding Kirby. “He is just a lot of fun to have around.”
Tom and Debbie Huffman, of Washougal, said having a dog encourages them to walk more.
“She’s got a lot of energy,” Debbie said, regarding Daisy, a 4-year-old Brittany spaniel.
