I have been doing the 1 hour in the morning and I also have been doing a quick walk right when I get home from work and right before bedtime. Its a pain to get up an hour earlier and its alot of walking but Im not spending time cleaning up other dog related issues so thats good. The poor dogs are so tired they only sleep but they seem content. He says in the wild they walk all day so its un-natural to stay pent up in the house in the daytime. I hope things work out for you. |
well I use to take him on a good 30 minute walk around the complex but when it gets cold I turn into a hermit and I HATE the cold.. I would have to do his walk then rewash my hair(because my beanie leaves a mark in my hair and I can't find the ear things that go behind your head). He seems to do really well when I walked him. I might have to just force myself to go out inthe cold.. it's just when it gets cold here it gets REALLY REALLY windy which is what makes it awful. I don't know how I dealt with the ohio winters! They were worse then virginia but then again I had good gloves, and things for my ears.
