We only go for walks in the spring summer and fall, Winter here is just to cold. Having 3 i have to switch up Usually its Austin Brownie then Kayko Then back to the Beg, Again. Austin we go to the park walk off leash usually for hour and a half. Brownie we walk to the park and sit by a tree for about a hour since he has a bad leg we just go out to exercise it alittle And to get fresh air. Kayko i walk to the beach until he cant walk anymore usually about 2 hours of walking then home. |
This topic makes me sad. Kaji use to stay slim with 5 walks a day. The morning walk was 20 mins to an hour, 3 were 20 mins, and the last one would be an hour or more, as we would walk to the park (3 blocks away) and we would run into a lot of people with dogs. It was like an impromptu dog park. They always had so much fun. I even lost a few lbs! I would love to have at least 2 walks a day. We would both love it! |
I feel put to shame in this post... Poor Harley doesn't get out too much, our weather is just crap. Last semester I got him out almost every day, if not every other, cause I took him on errands, but (we're in Canada) he hates snow. I'm lucky if I get him out once/twice a week. That being said at night he has free run of the apartment, and boy does he make use of it. and we take him up and down stairs to greet people at the front door. We've also started Life Skills classes, so he got to run around there. I've started encouraging the bf to take him out daily (cause I think the bf needs more exercise :D). I'm thinking of buying a small agility set to use inside. |
We live in a sub that has a great route to walk. Weather permitting, we walk 2 miles a day, but not when it is icy. Dinky walks almost the entire way; however, right now the streets are too slippery and too cold for him. We try when the streets are drier to walk him--when it is really cold, we carry him for most of the walk. We are hoping to move to a warmer climate after I retire. I am really looking forward to it! |
We try to do at least one 30 minute walk per day plus at least 45-1hr at the local dog park daily. |
I walk mine when its above 30 degrees outside every day around 3 blocks |
I try everyday, but it depends on the weather and what Rizzo is up for. I have to take a 15 minute drive to get to an area that I know we're both safe walking around at, and we're out walking for 1-2 hours, depending on what is going on, and how nice the weather is. Even if we walk, fast paced, for 2 hours Rizz is still energetic, lol. |
Tootsy and I walk 3 times a day ,snow rain and cold. we live in a apartment. She dose not like pee pads,I really like to move, somewhere in 50 or above, hate the winter. |
We try to go for a long walk every day. There are exceptions with the weather. I live off back roads that don't get scraped well during the winter. Levi and I walk between one and three miles a day. Usually pretty fast-paced, but I do let him sniff around quite a bit. He gets really excited when we reach the end of our apartment yard where our long walks start...and is so disappointed if we are only there for a potty break. He loves his walks and gets antsy without them. |
Wow! I'm impressed by you all. We don't walk much in the winter. None of us like the cold and Willow just about shivers herself to death plus her legs are so short, her belly is dragging in the snow. Their sweaters just don't seem to help that much. Gemy, where do you find indoor pools for dogs? Is it a commercial setting? We don't have anything around here like that. You all have shamed me so I guess the girls and I will cowboy up and try to do better. Thanks for the push. :D |

I take Daisy for a walk around the neighborhood everyday (weather permitting) for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening. If the weather is bad....likes its been this weekend....we go shopping at Petsmart and Petco. Usually, "that" walk turns out to be rather costly. She got a new bed this weekend......she already has two others. |
It depends, in the summer they get walked on long walks daily, but during the school year they just get really short walks during the week and a long walk on the weekend. But since we had a delay this week and a three day weekend, were about to go on our fourth 4-mile walk in a week lol. |
Depends on the season, in the summer/spring/fall months we generally get out daily or every two days. But in the winter it just gets to cold. This past week has been -25 with wind chill. Both of my dogs have fattened up a little this winter but I try to keep them exercised by playing with them in the house. |
Must say I'm a wee bit proud of myself. Harley and I just walked I'd say about 3km or so, we went to the bank, and back and ran around in the park. It was theraputic, but I don't think either of us appreciated -10 cold though... |
