Layla HATES walks (i'm not sure she is a dog

) so instead every day we go in the backyard and play fetch!! she'd do that until she passed out from exhaustion!! about once a week i'll attempt a walk.. i have to carry her the first half.. after that she boots it all the way home.. lol... my mom bought me a front/back carrier because our family usally walks after supper this way layla can come but just enjoy the ride

Dezi goes out about 3 times a day (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) Once in the morning before I go to work and two times in the evening. On Tuesdays and Thursdays she goes to day camp. She gets home so tired, she is not interested in walking.

I'm trying to teach mine how to walk on a leash. It's going to be harder I think than it was with my lab.

I know what ya mean... Mia doesn't walk she trots! Our Blk Lab Lucky was just so easy going - he just walked beside us.

Oh, btw, hubby walks Mia almost every single day - only time he doesn't is if the weather is bad (and she doesn't like the wind blowing up her dress!).

I try to take Mollie & Wyatt at least every other day. Depending on the weather. But I'm not a real stickler unfortunately. If it weren't for our fencened in back yard I would most definitely stick to a routine. I still need to take them more because they absolutely love it. After their walk they get to play in the dog park.

Luna normally gets way to excited on walks and chokes herself, she even has a step in harness that doesnt go around the throat. So now we just play in the backyard for about 20 minutes each day. Plus we have tons of stairs throught the house that she is constantly running up and down.

I live in Illinois, so it really depends on the weather...an excuse, maybe. But really Winston walks pretty well on leash(when there's a sidewalk). And weather permitting, and my schedule we walk often, maybe not every day but most days. Sometimes the snow is so deep, I can't even get him out the door...and that's serious business, cuz he does all his business outside!!! And it has to be in the grass...so I spend many mornings shoveling paths all over the backyard, literally.

Bump!

Sadie's Mom · 05-07-2007, 07:35 PM

We live in an apartment, so at least once every day. It just depends on how far Sadie feels like she's gotta walk before she can find the "right spot" to go.

Usually she goes right away in the mornings & then we walk for a while when I get home from work. On weekends, we take a couple of walks a day.

Thanks for the responses everyone!

Bump!

I walk Buddy 4xdaily and on weekends 5xdaily.
He is trained to go outdoors only so this is a must.
Maybe because he's a bigger boy he just loves his walks
and so do I.

Elisandra · 05-08-2007, 05:52 AM

i used to walk him in the morning but now that the grass is growing the ground is wet on my whole block because of the sprinklers and he's gonna stink from getting wet. So i walk him only once when i get home aroun 6pm

JCarlson2004 · 05-08-2007, 05:55 AM

I walk my dogs every day for an hour. On the weekends, we go to the park and spend a lot of time outdoors.

genie · 05-08-2007, 05:59 AM

I (or my daughter) walk my dogs usually 5 days a week. Also we take them to our farm 2-3 days a week and they will run and run and run until their tongues are hanging to the ground.
