How often do you go for walks?

[Lucy]

Just curious as to how often everyone takes their chi(s) for walks?

Also, for the people with more than one, do you walk all together? Or in pairs?

Since we have the yard now I would say each dog gets to go for a *walk walk* 2x a week, sometimes 3. We don't take them all with us because they enjoy it more and we enjoy it more when we don't have so many tangled leashes and dogs to keep track of. They get to exercise out in the yard for 2-3 hours a day so I don't feel like they are lacking "exercise" so to speak. They are way calmer and happier now that they get to spend so much time outside anyway, than they were getting 5+ walks a week lol.

We have a garden but it is only very small so Tyson gets a walk every day rain or shine OH takes him during the week as I work and we both take him on weekends. (apart from during heavy thunderstorms or thick snow !!)

We don't have a yard currently, so Brody gets multiple walks a day. I do a longer one in the morning and afternoon that are .5 miles and then he gets shorter ones in between. I am tired after that but he is ready for more. ha. On an average day, he gets walked between 1-2 miles a day.

Mine get walked altogether every day unless it's raining (I got izzy to think about and she hates having a rain cover on her buggy) or I have a day in town or something.

Somedays it's only to the end of the road and back, that's about 3/4 mile and some days it's for longer. But they do spend most of the day in the garden if I'm home all day, I just leave the back door open.

mine have about 20-30 mins twice a day during the week i walk them all together and they spend a few hours in the garden - weekends we go for longer walks

[Sarah]

We walk once a day at least a mile each time both walk
Together BUT when I get another I am going to do separate walks and together as Lotus can be a handful as she wants to greet people but charges at them
And barks so yeah lol

Daisy loves running so I take them
Over the park and put lotus on a flex and let daisy off (she has perfect recall ) and let them charge around a bit

I think structured and unstructured walks really help them

I take them out 2-3 times a day (depending if im at work) in the fields, morning walk is about 20 mins, mid day walk is about 30 mins and evening walk heidi goes with my mum and her dog for about 20 mins and i take Jake round the park for 15 mins.
I've started bringing the pups in the field too now i pull up outside the field in my car and out jump 4 little doggys normally they are all off lead in the fields because they wont run off (although Daisy will run off in the park). The pups are so badly socialised though so its a bit of a nitemare when we see other dogs because they feel the need to scream at them which others find amusing, i do not!
