The Rucksack Walk - Mindful 15‑Minute Dog Walk (Mini‑Guide)

What you’ll learn

• What it is & who it helps: a 15‑minute social, sensory walk that reduces stress and builds connection. 
• What to pack: rucksack, long line, treat pouch, tub with a novel scent, tub with novel food, chew, a random object, mat if the ground is wet.
• The 5 rules: it’s not training; every word a whisper; slow “baby‑bird” movements; time over distance; phone stays in the bag.
• Step‑by‑step flow (What/How/Why): mooch a few hundred yards with slack line; stop if pulling; triangle recalls to stay in one area; calmly sit/kneel to introduce scent tub → novel object → food tub → chew; slow mooch back the same route. 

What you get

• A concise, 3‑page PDF with a clear checklist, rules and walk flow you can use this week—crediting the original concept and keeping the setup simple.
