dog walking?

Question

How far should i walk my dog every day

Answer 1

dog walking is good exercise 4 both u and the dog. while having a walk with ur dog all stress will b over.
ok 4 the distance i would say when ur dog stop and he sit down or removes its tongue out that a sign to known that ur dog is tired. and before going to walk u should c the time, if it is 2 o'clock then if at 2:15 u c that ur dog tongue is out. so ur dog can walk only 4 15 min...

Answer 2

It really does depend on the dog. If he's jumping around a lot at home he needs not just more exercise but something for his brain to think about too. Dogs get bored as well as restless.
Walking pavements can get boring for the dog, try to have a mixture of places you go including some time off lead for a free run.
If he's happy and relaxed at home, and happy to go for a walk but not leaping all over the place like a demented thing when you rattle the lead, you've got it right.

And don't believe the myth about little dogs needing less exercise, my last dog was a hyper jack russell and could walk the legs off many bigger breeds. It really is just down to the individual dog.

Answer 3

Try about half an hour a few times a day(depending on how fit you dog is and what size they are). Or you could just keep walking for about 200m then turn around and see if your dog wants to go back in if not just keep going back and forth until they want to stop. Dogs usually know when they've had enough exercise.

Answer 4

As far as he needs. My dogs run around like lunatics in a morning, so I only end up walking them for half an hour or so. They are so knackered by this point we can go home. We do this 3 times a day, but their evening walk is usually longer, maybe up to an hour depending on the weather (they don't like walking in the rain cos they are long haired and hate getting wet)

Answer 5

it all depends on the size and age of your dog. If their under 6 months it should be less than half an hour as their bodies haven't fully developed and you can injure their muscles. I have a staffxbull mastiff aged 1 year and I walk her about 10 minutes in the morning and 40 minutes at night. Obviously if you have a smaller dog they don't need as much exercise as a larger breed.

Answer 6

depends on the breed, fitness level, and health of the dog.
most dogs need at least 2 half hour walks a day, some 2 hours. Have a look on a relevant website for your breed most breed clubs give a pretty good idea of what is typical.

Answer 7

Depends on the breed of dog as they all have different requirements. Personally I spend approximately 2 - 3 hours on walks per day for my 2 spaniels, my friend has 2 lurchers and a terrier and spends 3-4 hours per day on walks.

Answer 8

it depends on the size of your dog. if you have a small dog or low energy dog, a walk around the block might due. If you have a larger dog, or something high energy like a Jack Russell, i've been told 45 min brisk walk ( or 1-2 miles) twice a day.

Answer 9

Depends on the size of the dog. If he is little and jumps up and down off of the couch every day, then that may be excercise enough. My four pound poodle dosen't get walked. We tried it once and he stopped and laid down on a yard when we were ten houses down from where we live.

Answer 10

depends on the size, age and breed of dog, eg walking a great dane far is bad for their joints. but walking a lurcher/whitpet or a boarder collie,takes longer because they need more exercise. my GSD is 16 so she prefers to walk to the end of the road and go back to bed. and if you have a large garden this is a good advantage.
