Poll: daily walks

• Karen Posted : 11/1/2006 11:52:01 AM Basenji, 7 years old Basenji, 1.5 years old   We used to do 1, 3 mile walk per evening.  However, I am now a bad dog mommy and we don't do any regular walks.  It was way too hot in the summers so we always did our walks in the evening and we had 2 seriel killers on the loose in our general part of town who struck in the evening hours, and often targeted those out walking.  Then I got pregnant and had some complications.  The weather is finally nice, the seriel killers have been caught and I just haven't gotten myself back in the habit of walking them (of course I am still pregnant and have an even harder time getting around now, but I bet the walks would be extra good for me). 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Prince_Pride Posted : 11/1/2006 3:07:48 PM Almost 4 yr old Doberman   No daily walks. Prince has 2 acres to run around on and I take him to my moms property (over 80 acres) to run around as well...he goes there 2-3 times per week. We play fetch and do tons of 'hide and seek' games in the house and clicker training to keep him mentally stimulated. This time of year when it's not rainy, muddy, cold or dark I take him for a 4 mile bike ride. In the summer I take him at least 3 times a week.         0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• corvus Posted : 11/1/2006 8:15:41 PM Ooooo, you have a jindo! Love! Breed and age: Pembroke corgi, 11; Swedish vallhund, 4; Boxer/kelpie, 2. # of times/day: 1 daily walk, usually, plus play ball with the cross and other dogs sometimes join in. Distance:  We usually take about an hour, which I guess is probably around 5km or so. Which I guess is around 3 miles. Sometimes we do longer ones and sometimes shorter. And it depends on how insistent the pups are on plodding along and sniffing at every clump of grass. Once a week we take them offlead, usually takes 1.5-2 hours and involves a lot of swimming in the lake. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ron2 Posted : 11/1/2006 10:14:56 PM Usually, once a day, 1/2 mile to 2 miles, depending on weather. Short walks may still take some time, if we are tracking mouse scent in a field. On days off, sometimes two walks. One in the morning. One later during errands/socialization.   He's in the yard when we are both at work, so he has time to run. Plus play after walks. Obedience, mixed with play, sometimes mixed with play and treats. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• inne Posted : 11/2/2006 2:43:46 AM 9.5 month old cockapoo We go out twice a day.    Sometimes it's a 30 minute -1 hour walk around the neighbourhood, sometimes it's a 1-2 hour off-leash walk in the woods, sometimes it's a 5 minute walk down to the beach or park and then she plays off-leash for 40 minutes to 2 hours.    We live in a small apartment, so this is all the outdoor playing time she gets. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Stef w Posted : 11/2/2006 7:02:52 AM 2yr old Dobie 2yr old Lab-x   We walk for 20 mins in the morning and then for about an hour to an hour and a half in the evenings.  We also have a huge yard where they can let off steam. []  I think the walks are more for me than for them... It's more work for them to play fetch and wrestle than walking with me.

• angelabarry Posted : 11/2/2006 7:21:14 AM 7 yr old Siberian Huskky 6 yr old Shepard/Husky mix 4 yr old Lab/Ryukyu Inu Mix (3) 3 yr old Ryukyu Inus   We don't walk off our property on a regular basis, but they have a large yard to play in here. I take them one or two at a time for an occasional romp in the fields across from us. They also take turns going with us  for rides, which means they get to get out and explore wherever we are going.  My three youngest would prefer to never leave their yard and house, but I take them on short excursions for socialization purposes. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Maxs Mom Posted : 11/2/2006 7:23:30 AM I have 2 dogs, and I only have time for 1 walk per day. (Not enough hours) Usually I take them both at the same time. If we go for a walk it is a 2+ mile walk through the neighborhood. Lately we have been running the Lab 3 times a week. We take her to the school which has 20 acres and (I'm on a bike) we make 3 revolutions with Belle setting the pace. First lap she is flying, second a nice "lope" and the third I try to slow her to a trot, but she still has too much energy. We also have agility equip at home so we can do that in the back yard too. Maxine goes for the walks, plays at the park when Belle runs and we will get back into that routine, once she is healed from her TPLO surgery on bed rest until next year.
