We normally do it atleast once a day. It also depends on what the weather is like, since it gets really hot here during the summer and the dogs don't handle it well. And Ethan gets easily cold in the winter... and sometimes we get caught up in things and the dogs would rather "exercise" by chasing eachother around the house at high speeds.
No matter what, though, they find a way to burn their energy out. :D

Depends on the season for me. In the summer, Tango gets one or two jogs and atleast one walk daily. Her walk/s also consist of off leash retrieving/runnning/obedience practice time aswell.
The others get a walk whenever I feel like taking them, usually they all get atleast one a week though from me. However, I don't consider them mine and my mom knows/understands it's not my responsibility to take her of her dogs' exercise needs and such. In fact, both of my parents prefer me not to take them for walks or anything and they've told me that. They do play outside with eachother all the time though..

Hrm...as of right now, never :( Considering I'm living 2.5 hours away from home..
I would usually take Micki, Mini and Jack rollerblading at least once every other day, bikerides and walks whenever I could. Some weeks I'd be so busy that they'd only get 1 or 2 total throughout the week, and other weeks more. It all depends...

Hardly ever. I prefer to excercise them other ways.

I don't.
Spanky can burn up all of her energy playing with me or chasing the cats around the house. Also, I don't live in the greatest neighborhood, heh. ;)

Bailey get's a walk 2 times a day. He goes in the early morning with DH, and then again at night with me and DH. He get's other exercise depending on the weather. We have a dog run in our apartment complex which he goes to when he has another dog to play with. He also goes to the creek and baseball diamond every once in a while.
Being a Great Dane, you wouldn't think he would have so much energy. He would play all day if he could!

I the morning, we play ball and do agility. Sometimes go for a short walk.
I the afternoon We go in the forest for about 2 hours a day with her off-leash terrorizing poor little animals. ( needless to say, she loves it ) ( needless to say, the animals don't. )
In the evening, we walk 5 Kilometers, unless I have homework, if I have homework, she only gets 2.5 Kilometers. :(

once a day usually.
none of the above. I walk my dogs when I have the time, but it IS often, I dont have a set schedual because my work schedual is always differnt and I bike 45 minuts each way and work on my feet for 8 hours, by the time I get home I am often complety exausted, but how tired I am depend son how many days in a row I have been working and what hours, so they do NOT get walked every day, but when I have the time which is quite often I take them for good long runs.

I do it daily, but it's more for my excersise then the dogs. We have 5 acres for them to run on and a neighbors pond they swim in everyday.

I walk once a day every day unless it's pouring down rain or bitter cold (windy). My dogs have WeatherBeeta coats that they hate to wear.In the summertime I have to get up by 4 o'clock and feed the dogs so that I can walk them at six o'clock. It get's too hot after that.Thank God for cooler weather! They also have a huge fenced in yard to run and play in.

Kai rarely gets walked. He can slip out of the tightest harnesses and collars, so I take him to the school field or dog park instead. Kaedyn gets a walk whenever I feel like it.. he has fear aggression so I like to walk either really early or really late. They both get plenty of exercise though.. just not from walks. Kai goes to agility once a week and both go swimming three times a week.

I usually walk Roscoe at least twice a day, somedays he gets 3, but there are days that he gets only 1. But on average, 2 :)

I walk my two when I feel like it, but it's usually 2 or more times a day, plus several games of play outside. :)

We usually walk Anita once or twice a week. She doesn't need more than that, because she runs and plays a lot in the house.
So, we don't really walk her for the excersise, but she loves to socialize with other dogs and to visit my grandparents ;)

I walk mine once a day usually.When the wheather turns cooler, it's
usually twice a day.They both love it so much, I figure they deserve to
be happy campers. Must be pretty boring for them with just walking our
yard or being in the house all the time.

Since I live in an apartment, we take multiple walks a day

I walk Sassy once a day. Sometimes, I don't have the time or the weather is crappy like it was today and needless today she was crying at the door. But I mostly do get to walk her. She also runs around the yard sometimes but mostly just a walk and she stays out for a maximum of 30-45 minutes so she gets plenty of excerise.

The girls don't get walks...they get runs! I hook them up to my bike one at a time of course, and they get a 2 mile bike ride (yep had to whisper that or Roxey would be going crazy right now:o) and Bon's the one who gets walked.
I don't do it every day, but normally about 3-4x's/wk.
We actually did it this morning in the dark around 6 am :eek:
