    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.

    I don't walk my dogs. We have a large fenced in backyard. Lacey's had both back knees operated on and we are thankful she CAN walk much less talking her for a walk. We play ball or frisbee and get Layla running around the yard doing the zoomies. She also goes to Petsmart now and then and loves walking all through the store until I'm exhausted.

    do I walk my dogs? sometimes. but I often work from dark to dark, so I also have a dog walker. I used to run my dogs a lot, but I cant do that as much anymore because Rusty cant come off the leash so when I run the girls he ends up with the short end of the stick and being a JRT thats never a good thing lol. since the sun uis going down a lot sooner(pitch black hen I get home from work) I have been playing with them in my backyard for exersize as at least there they cal all be off the leash lol.

    In the summer we spend a lot of time outside hiking, rollerblading, biking and doing agility training. When it gets colder the amount of walks we take decreases. Other than that they usually just get exercise by running around in the yard or playing fetch in the house/yard. And whenever I come home I make a point of spending some time at the dog park.

    Yes, they go for a walk almost every day for an hour. During the summer we often went hiking too. Since it's been freezing and I don't always get home before its dark we've skipped a few days though. If my mom doesn't go I take all 3 dogs by myself, people laugh at me when they see this.

    I don't walk them every day, but usually about 5 times a week. Walks to next to nothing for Dance - I just take her out for walks because I like to.

    You should see the look on people's face when they see me with all three

    And in answer to the question...I do walk my dogs, just not regularly enough.

    I try to get Mahalo walked daily, the others don't get as much.

    I am the only one who can walk Mahalo or else she yelps, pulls and crys with excitment! so I walk her alone, and me and my sister(if bboth well) walk the other three together. Teddie & Duncan on a coupler and Buster on a lead.

    I want another coupler and gentle leader(i hate them, but they are actually doing something now) so we can walk 4 at once.

    Not to forget our little foster dog Velma Dinkley!
