I walk Katie for at least an hour, sometimes a lot more, every day once or twice a day. Katie's pace is like a jog. I have to walk quickly to keep up with her. She listens great if I set the pace and she has to walk alongside me, but I like her getting such good exercise when she also jogs. We walk earlier and then later in the day. During the afternoon, Katie runs a lot fetching her balls. She cools off in a baby pool. I always carry water whether we are playing fetch or walking. Katie isy five years old and is used to a lot of physical activity.
One of my Rainbow Bridge babies, Ashley, walked a couple of miles each day until a couple days before she passed away close to her seventeenth birthday. I believe it kept her mind stimulated and her heart and lungs strong.
