[Quiet Man Cometh]

I find walking helps too. I live around woodsy areas, suburb type stuff so there isn't too much car noise or exaust. I'd take my dog more often but he isn't always keen on going for walks and I can usually get him about half a block to two blocks (on a good day) before he decides he's going to go home, at which point I can usually get him to move in 6 foot incrememts, maybe, after much tugging on the lease. He starts moving again once we get around the block enough that to continue is shorter than turning around.
