Piper and I go out at least 5 mornings a week, shortly after I get off work (gyd). I've found that it isn't so much the time or the distance, but the fact we go for a walk that works for Piper. When the weather cools we cover a lot of territory in about 30 or 40 minutes. Since it's been so hot, we may be only out for 15 minutes or 1/2 hour--again, just so long as she gets out! And I agree, her getting me to "go" is the best thing for me--I always feel better after our walks, long or short! |
