本研究旨在探討遛狗活動者從事遛狗活動之休閒效益。本研究所探討之休閒效益包含均衡生活體驗、健全生活內涵及提升生命品質三構面。在以問卷收集資料後，應用描述性統計、獨立樣本t檢定及單因子變異數分析等統計方法進行分析。研究結果發現在休閒效益的感受方面，遛狗活動者之整體休閒效益感受頗高，其中以均衡生活體驗最高，而提升生命品質的感受最低。結果並發現不同性別、遛狗活動時間、主要活動及共同活動犬體型之遛狗活動者，在部份休閒效益感受上均有顯著差異。其中女性及遛狗活動時間較久之遛狗活動者在均衡生活體驗及健全生活內涵效益上，皆有較高之感受。此外亦發現主要活動不同之遛狗活動者在提升生命品質效益感受上有顯著差異，即遛狗時主要活動為和狗遊戲之遛狗活動者在提升生命品質效益上感受較高。另一方面結果亦顯示共同活動犬體型不同之遛狗活動者在健全生活內涵及提升生命品質效益感受上有顯著差異，即與中大型犬共同活動之遛狗活動者在健全生活內涵及提升生命品質效益上感受較高。

That means dog walkers who are female and had longer durations of dog-walking experienced the balancing living experiences and promoting the wellness of lifestyle benefits more. In addition, dog walkers who engaged in different activities showed a significant difference in experiencing enhancing the quality of life benefits.
