Default How often do you walk your dog?

I suppose the frequency of walking your dog depends on a number of factors such as time available, type of dog, availability of places to go..etc

However I wondered how often people walked their dogs - twice a day? More or less ?

I try to walk my dog as often as I can, but it tends to be a decent walk once a day - with maybe a shorter walk as well, if possible.

However, my dog has access to our garden all day and regularly comes and goes - she never seems to be able to sit still!!!

Ours go out daily, sometimes they might go out twice in a day if there is time and weather permits!

Some days they get a long walk, or we might go out somewhere with them for the day, and other days they might only get 20 minutes.

My small dogs run free in the yard, and I try to walk my big dogs 2 times a day. We live on 3 acres so I just walk the edge several times till Im worn out.

We try for at least 3 or 4 walks, that may only last about 15 minutes. Weather permitting, at least one hour walk a day. But, alas, winter has arrived!

Default Two or More Times a Day, Well if I got the Time

I would expect to walk a dog at least once a day, but it really does depend on the factors you mentioned. I mean, you've got to slip in a walk, even on a busy day. I really don't think there's such a thing as to much walking, well for a dog. My dog's too active. Also, if you can't walk the dog, you can surely fit in a little football, or doggy soccer. If I'm busy, it's only one walk. If you're wondering, my dog-the one I'm talking about, is a pothound. That's a mixture of a couple of breeds, but mostly Golden and Labrador Retreiver. Good luck, if you need to know how much you should walk your dog. Try telling some of us the names of the breeds of your dog(s).

I walk 5 of my dogs twice a day for an hour each, and the other dog once a day for a half hour. Then they get turned into their outdoor playing quarters untill night.
