Ivan and Iris get two walks every day for about 20-30 minutes each time. Plus Ivan gets two more potty breaks besides that. If it's raining, then the walks are just to do "business" and Iris usually won't go but we have pretty mild weather year round so we are lucky. On weekends, they both go on a third walk for about 20 minutes or so. We also try to get to the dog park once or twice a week but it is usually less than that. The park is instead of one of the walks when we go. They go on errends with us pretty often too and get to walk around at the mall or the pet store. Our two really need the exercise as well as the social interaction and mental stimulation of getting out of the house. |
