7. Leash up outdoors

The danger of ice is just one reason why you should keep your dog on a leash during wintertime walks. Even if your dog is usually cautious and responsible off-leash, winter weather can disorient them. Dogs can't see or smell as well during snowfall, so they can easily get lost if they're not leashed up. Some excitable dogs may even get themselves buried under snow piles if left unattended or unconfined.
