    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.

    Everyday. The dogs have built-in clocks, they know when it's time for a walk. We try to take them for a long walk out somewhere about once a week. I also play games in the yard with Jack.

    I wish I could take Nicki for a walk. Her idea of a long walk is one block from home when she decides that she's tired and wants to go home. The walk home is painfully slow because she drags behind. My poor baby is old.

    She used to get a ton of walks a day. Long walks, fun walks. But not now.

    I walk my dogs, just not everyday. Maybe a few times a week. Otherwise I play fetch and soccer with them in the backyard.

    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!
