| How long do you walk your dog each day? Chocho gets about 20mins a day in walking. What about your baby?

Donating YT 14K Club Member | I do not walk my dogs. I feel that they get plenty of exercise here in the house and in my own back yard. I am fearful of other dogs that may be loose or what they could catch should they wander in someone else's yard. I KNOW what is in my yard and what isn't...I can't be too sure about everyone else's yard.

| i dont walk my dogs either, they chase each other around in the house, out by the pool and in the dog runs. there is a pit bull/greyhound mix that gets out from the business behind my house and Jack hates him, could not imagine if i had him on a leash and that dog came around us. |

| I walk my two 3x's a day 10 to 15 min each time and now that the weather is ideal for walking them we talk long walks that last about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hrs. They love being out walking and sniffing the good sniffs ). Tina

| Piccolo walks 20 - 30 minutes each day on a leash. Right now, we go very early in the morning, before it gets too hot.

| Ella gets a walk at night before bed to tire her out (usually about 20 minutes), and then one other during the day if she's extra-hyper. She's met other dogs in our apartment complex, and has done really well with them (but we aren't allowed to have a lot of the bigger, more dangerous breeds here).

| We don't walk everyday, but when we do, we usually walk 20-30 mins. Abby gets too hot to walk very far, so end up carrying her some. They have a big fenced in backyard that they can run around in and they do zoomies down the hallway, through the kitchen, dining room and living room! They do that a while, then lay on the back of the couch and look out the window

| I just started to walk them every morning. During the week it is about 20 mins. On the weekend we do just over a mile, so how ever long that takes, plus I stop them often and carry them a little bit too (so about 40 mins.) They also get to run in the backyard at times as well. They are really enjoying the morning walks, I am trying to keep them NOT so bored during the day, as Roxy was starting to do bad things |

| I walk Duke about 40min to an hr when i get home from work, he walks a bit more on the weekend. I try to take him to the small dog park about once a week so that he can learn to socialize with other dogs.

| Bobby has a lot of energy to burn off! It depends on how many bushes we stop at, but we usually walk for 30-45 mins every evening. Yesterday there were 3 dogs loose! I saw them and picked up Bobby and went in a different direction. Their owners were outside with them, but you can never be too overprotective! |
