Re: Do you walk your dog?
Misty gets a 1 hour walk/run almost every day. If the weather is really inclement, she doesn't want to go out (she's such a diva )so we don't walk on those days.
And, if I'm off from work I generally take her for a two hour walk at a park or in the local woods.

No, not everyday and especially not in hot or cold weather. Our english bulldog can not take long walks in either frigid weather (even with his super cute coat) or super hot (at all). Its part of their temperment.
We do play with him inside. If he goes outside to do his business, he gallops inside as quickly as possible. So from my experience, not all dogs need or want 2-3 walks a day.
Boozer "gallops" inside too...lol
He gets spurts of energy for like 7 seconds where he wants to run around outside, then he comes right back to the door to come in for a nap ;)

Re: Do you walk your dog?
We just take Boozer out front. Depending on the weather, we'll take him to the end of the block and back. It's only about 6 houses up, but it's slightly uphill and he gets tired very quick.

Re: Do you walk your dog?
We walk the dogs once a day - unless it's snowing or pouring rain. They go out in the backyard several times a day.

Re: Do you walk your dog?
I have to walk my dog for him to go to the bathroom since we live in a condo.. but besides from that I take him for at least one long walk a day...unless its raining or snowing hard or freezing. He hates going outside when its cold, even with the ridiculous looking jacket that I bought him

Pretty much sums up the life of a bulldog.

Re: Do you walk your dog?
I take my dog out for walks to get exercise but not to go to the bathroom. He uses wee wee pads which makes it so much easier cause if I'm running late or something I dont have to worry about him holding it in. But we take him outside in our development to run around thats all.

Re: Do you walk your dog?
we walk owen for 15-30 minutes twice a day.
we'll let him out into the yard to make a couple times a day too. he has no trouble doing his business wherever... unlike sophie, who would ONLY do her business on walks... she was very high maintenance
i'll also take owen running a couple times a week. he looks like a little poofy dog, but he's actually really athletic and loves running

Re: Do you walk your dog?
My little Tinky is 3.5 lbs and uses wee wee pads and goes out in our little yard when we are home. DH and I walk her when it's nice out. She loves it! But if its too cold she won't go out..lol she's a diva!

Re: Do you walk your dog?
We let our dogs out in the backyard every morning before we leave for work and then again after work and whenever they want when we are home. Before the weather turned I walked them everyday at around 7 or 8 by myself (DH goes to school at night). I have 3 so it got to be hard esp. when I would come home from a spin class all sweaty and then have to go back out in the cold.
We take them to the park every weekend and let them run leash free which they love but, I do feel guilty not walking them during the week in the winter. I notice a huge difference in their energy levels. They are raring to go when we come home and are non stop all night. If we walk them they are much calmer.

Re: Do you walk your dog?
We don't usually walk Cooper in the cold weather. He hates it and usually has to be dragged or carried... he will actually freeze up and refuse to move.
But in the warmer weather... he loves it. Short walks though because we can't let him overheat with his short snout.
He's such a sensitive tough guy.
