Re: Those with small dogs
They go on pads unless we just go for a walk.
If we needed to walk them it would probably be 3 times a day.

Re: Those with small dogs
In general, most dogs really need walks 2-3 times a day for about 15 each, for a good frame of mind for them (according to experts and the Dog Whisperer).

Re: Those with small dogs
My mother walks her dogs in the backyard approx. 3/4 times a day. They go for a walk around the block once a day, maybe.

Re: Those with small dogs
3-5 times a day. We'd prefer 3 but when she scratches at the door we take her out b/c it usually means there is business that needs to be taken care of, sometimes she cons us though

Right, Abby does too.
Thats why I wondering if she gets enough exercise. She usually goes for one walk a day...soemtimes just a block or two, sometimes long.
ETA- We do miss a day here or there.

Re: Those with small dogs
We take Cooper into the backyard 3-5 times a day. He goes for a walks a few times a week... he's not really a fan of long walks, he'd rather do his business in the backyard and then run around like a banshee for a few minutes.

I feel like my guys run around the house like lunatics playing w/each other and making us throw their toys so they're getting enough exercise.
If they get on each other's nerves they go for a walk to expend some energy.
If your dog seems mellow, maybe the one walk is enough, if she's really hyper more walking would probably be ideal.

Re: Those with small dogs
at least 3 times a day. I'm not sure if I can see doing less than that even for a big dog unless the dog is working, like a seeing eye dog.

Re: Those with small dogs
We actually WALK them maybe 1-2x a week. I know it should be more.
They go out in the backyard a couple times a day to play.

Re: Those with small dogs
I was feeling awful that so many of you walk them so much. I'm with those who have paper trained their dog. Mine is a white maltese and he loves to run in the yard and then sit and dig... but he gets so dirty. He gets out once or twice a day when the weather is dry.... otherwise no.

Re: Those with small dogs
My dog loves to go for walks-we trained him not to go in the backyard. He gets walked 3-5 times a day.

Re: Those with small dogs
we walk our dogs twice a day, once in the morning before work and once in the evening.
the morning walk is usually around 15 minutes, and the evening walk is usually about 30 minutes long.

Re: Those with small dogs
We take Daisy out on the leash when she has to go outside to do her business. She usually just needs to go out 4-5 tmes a day.
She learned to go to the back door in the kitchen and scratch when she has to go out.
We take her on 2-3 walks a day for additional exercise. Once in the AM and twice in the PM. Unless it's hot and humid and then no walks cause it's bad for small dogs.

Re: Those with small dogs
Usually 2-3 times a day we take her for a long walk. We don't have a fenced in yard and have to take her out on a leash to go to the BR.

Re: Those with small dogs
We walk Marley 5 times a day for 15-30 mins. If the weather is nice, DH and I will take Marley on a longer walk for 45 mins - 1 hr. We also let her run around in the courtyard. She LOVES being off-lease!
