Do yall take your dogs for regular walks? I was just wondering how often if at all small breed owners walk their dogs. |
I try going every morning before it gets too hot. A tired dog is a happy dog lol |
Abby and Ziva walk a mile a day- we have a few different routes figured out. Now that it's hot they walk after 7pm and skip if they have had a long swim. I was looking for a coupler for their harnesses but just tied the two leashes together about 15" up and they have learned to walk beautifully together! |
No but I wish I could. I live in the country and we have hawks and owls and coyotes. I guessed right when I read the title of your thread. You are in Texas where we say "Yall". |
Y'all is a very efficient word Joyce lol. So what does your little one do for exercise? |
We walk every day. Our loop is a little less than a mile but we stop to sniff, eat, bark, poop, stare and just generally chill. So not really a cardio event - and it's HOT here too! I feel guilty we aren't logging really hard core aerobic walks but we do play alot inside daily - fetch, chase, jump around. Joni seems to be pretty tired by the end of the day. |
Everyday. If I don't walk them, they sulk. In the cooler months, we go out 2 x's a day. In the morning after their breakfast (I'm so not an early morning person) & again in the evening. In the hotter months, like now, we go for longer 35-45 min late evening walks. |
I have to admit I do it way less now that we're in the dead of summer in the San Antonio area. Our air is so humid that it doesn't really cool off much when the Sun gets low on the horizon. She gets tons of exercise chasing lizards, birds, and squirrels around the yard though. |
Yorkiefan I just took mine out in the san antonio heat. It wasnt horrible today and a nice breeze. We went out around 8pm. I hear you though. I asked this question because we dont walk our dogs nearly as much as we should and we have a medium sized dog in addition to our yorkiechon. |

We walk every day, barring bad weather or me feeling under the weather. When we could walk in our neighborhood, I took the boys twice a day, morning and evening. Now we only go to the park in the evening. It's the highlight of my boys' day. |
In the summer, we don't much, because I spend a lot of time at my dads house where has a big fenced in yard with a pool so he gets a lot of running in AND tonsss of swimming which tires him out far more than a walk. We tend to walk more in the spring & fall. We don't live in a neighborhood so it involves me driving to parks, etc. If we lived in a neighborhood, we'd be walking every day. When we do walk, we typically go 2-3 miles. When we go hiking in battlefields, etc, we can do anywhere from 5-7 miles. |
Now that the warm weather is here, I take Cody for walk early morning everyday before it gets to hot. I have a nice size yard that he uses during the day. Winter months it all depends on how cold it is, under 35 degrees, we don't do walks, we do back yard, providing there is no snow. |
At least once, and many times two or three times a day. They LOVE to check the area out, specially my Males. Most often times, we'll do about a half hour with all, then drop the Females off and continue with the Males for that much more or longer. |
No, I do not. Just occasional. |
