How often do you walk your dog?

Me and Chewy usued to roller balde for a half hour 3 times a day. That way he could run. But my roller baldes broke.

So now, we walk 4 or 5 times a day. We walk from 4 to 6 in the morning (doing my bro's paper route), if were not doing the paper route then we get up at 5:30 and walk till 7. Then when I come home from school we usually go for an hour to two hour walk. After dinner we go for another walk but its only like 45 mins. Then before we go to bed we go for yet another walk :rolleyes: . But hey, I've lost wieght :D so I think we will keep this schedule for awile ;)

Same here, Chewy gets bored if he doesn't go for awalks and acctually will tear around the house, jump on furniture, Rip things apart, or run towards people, jump up at them, and try to bite there hands, he thinks its fun :mad: so On lots of walks we go, LOL.

I admit it, I suck at taking the dogs for walks in the winter. I hate the cold and hate to go out in it. But I feel kind of lucky that Huney came into our lives, as now her and Roxey go out and play for hours on end, then take a nap, and then start all over again!
In the summer I am much better, it is lighter longer (this 5:00 getting dark stuff is for the birds!) so we go for walks and bikeriding. I've tried to get Roxey to walk on the treadmill:eek: but you can imagine how that works out!
I can't wait for warmer weather!

Mmmmmmmm I *so* agree with this statement. I was especially feeling it today for some reason...my office is in the back of the building, and the only time I ever see daylight these days is for 2 minutes when I go out to get my lunch from my car in the middle of the day. Hopefully this weekend will be nice and I can spend some time outdoors 'cause I really need it!!

we don't walk mickey much because he's so small and our yard is enough for him. we've taken him out 2 and both times, he didn't get very far. he doesn't like the leash :rolleyes: once, he gets older, i'm going to be taking him out more often.

Well, I voted "When I get a chance" ... because that's just the way it is around this crazy zoo! :rolleyes:

Most of the time, when I "walk" the dogs, I load them all up in the van, drive out into the prairie, and let them all run amok for about an hour, then load them up and drive them home. That way, I walk a couple miles, and they get to run about twenty miles!

In the summer, we walk one at a time on a leash, just to get out of the house and take a walk. But as far as real doggie exercise, that's really hard to do with eleven dogs one at a time!

We run at 5AM, then go for a last walk just to make sure he did all of his business right before I leave for work at 6AM.

We go for a short walk when I get home and then a really long run at the park between 10 and 11 PM.

So I guess that's 4x a day.

I try to walk Sadie at least once a day! I also play with her in the backyard a lot, too!:) ;)

I used to walk Smokey a few times a week but since I got a Halti for him we run & walk every day! Yay!
We've been going about 2 miles a day... 1/2 running , 1/2 walking.

Of course, this is in San Diego. We move to NYC in 17 days.
I did buy him a nice little winter coat today, though, so maybe if we can both stay warm enough we'll keep up the daily outings.

Misty has 1-2 miles walks at 6am and 1-2 pm! Then we just let her out in the fron yard at 7:00 pm and she does her business!!

I don't always have time with school and such, but they still get out almost everyday. When I get time myself I take them to our cottage or the dog park for a run which they long and burns a lot of energy..A walk around the block doesn't seem to do it for them..We also have a fenced yard which the dogs do a lot of running in when they're playing :]

We go for one long walk ( about 1-2 hours), and then a couple of shorter 30 minute walks :)
Depends of the day, someday we go to forest walks, running to the fields or playing with other dogs.
And once a week we have obedience class, but thats not really walking :D

At spring I'm really hoping we could start agility.
