How often, at what time and how long do you walk your dog?
Discussion
What it says on the tin. I generally walk my two at lunch time as they play themselves to sleep in the morning running around like silly buggers. Lunchtime walk is local roads (ones scared of cars but getting there so its important to fit in the boring road walks) and the other walk is at tatton park where they walk for an hour and half and have a swim!
Always wanted a spaniel or a collie but glad we went for two little dogs as dont think i would have the time to walk them. It is easy working from home with dogs, as soon as they wake up from their morning nap its lunchtime (for me) and then a walk and then they kip again till tea time so i can get more work done!

Taking a dog for a walk often looks like exercise time in a prison. My late JRT could easily walk around all day long, certainly when he was in his prime anyway and I think a Border Collie would have no issue at all running along side a decent runner that was marathon training. 45 minutes at each end of the day doesn't really cut it for most dogs, they like being about and about not shut inside.
I know what you mean. Next door take there dogs to the playing fields next to our house every day, never get taken anywhere in the car or on holidays. We try to include ours in our lives as much as possible but sometimes it isn't practical.. We have nearly taught them to settle in the beer garden! I do feel sorry for those dogs that do the same thing EVERY day for all there lives.Gassing Station | All Creatures Great & Small | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
