Does anyone else experience this to that extent or I am I just allowing them to much freedom in that area. I don't want to impede their doghood

Charlie could walk and sniff for hours. However, I give him a 20 minute walk in the morning to the same location (near a park). I remind him it is time to go potty, and he is pretty routine. Personally, I don't have unlimited time in the morning, evening is more relaxed.
