    Yep, all three of our dogs get walked everyday.. usually twice a day. If there is an odd day that makes so that we don't have time to actually walk them then we let them out back(all of our backyard is fenced in) and play fetch for awhile throughout the day.

    I don't walk them regularly. The reason for this is because Kai is so afraid of noise, people and traffic, that he can slip out of the tightest harnesses, collars, martingales, etc. He will stop on all fours and be dragged rather than walk. I've been working on this with him and we've made some huge progress in the past year but unfortunately, I can't walk him for more than a couple blocks before he freaks out.

    Kaedyn is fear aggressive. We haven't been able to pinpoint it. He lunges randomly. It's odd because in a large crowd, or store, he's great. If he sees someone approaching him, he will always give attention. Sometimes he'll growl, sometimes he won't.

    A walk doesn't phase Keeva. She needs to run offleash daily or she's a nutcase.

    I take them to the dog park everyday unless it's bad weather. This way Keeva gets to burn her energy, and Kai and Kaedyn get some socialization while still exercising.

    I walk Autumn in the morning a block or two before work. Then both in the afternoon. Other than that, we have a 12 acre dog park a mile in one direction from our house, and another dog park just as big in the other direction a good 2 miles.

    Usually. If Ivy doesn't get walked, she gets taken to either the dog park or the trails or the oh-so-handy treadmill

    She also gets a long fetch session tossed in there and a couple short obedience/agility training sessions everyday. I'm really proud of how far we've come =)

    I try to walk mine everyday. I live in town so I can't let them run around the yard.

    Going for a walk here is pretty much going to the park and letting the dogs off lead to run themselves silly . I rarely actully put them on lead and leave them on lead and walk around the streets, too many stray dogs roaming around.

    We dont go for walks regularly either. We live on 13 acres in the boonies, so usually the dogs get a few good runs in daily! Once a week i take the dogs for a walk on the country roads, mostly for my benifit. But we do have to be carefull while walking, as there is no shoulder, and people do have a tendancy to speed on our back roads.
