2 walks or one??

Do your dogs prefer 1 walk or 2??

How long is each walk??

Millie gets 2 15 minute walks a day she used to be a bit unsure of it now she looks forward to going out as soon as I get the lead she is all ready bouncing off the walls with excitement ^^

Mine don't have set walks and our walks can vary from 1 - 3 a day, from 20 minutes to 4 hours sometimes..

During the week because of our working hours Zulu goes for a 3 mile jog once an evening. Wednesdays he goes to "day care" where he is outside running around all day so no walk and the weekends is normally a walk plus an hour of fetch.

Sweeps a very old boy so we have to bare that in mind with him.

He'll usually go out for 20 mins-45 mins in the evening. Though some days when he's very slow and stiff we just have a play in the garden with him instead.

My two cockers do not get set walks, but they are out and about (as in not just kicking about the house and yard) for a good two hours a day at the very least.

After 15 mins they would just be warming up!

The would prefer to be out all day long

Zena gets an hour's offlead walk every morning come rain or shine, and if I'm on the bike, she gets longer, and then she has 20 mins of ball play/training when I take the older dog out for his daily plod, but he doesn't do much, he just potters about while we carry on doing stuff. In the summer, she will get an evening walk too, just onlead around the village on the footpaths.

I do it to suit me, not her though, I like a routine, so she has to fit in with it all.

It varies. On a work day he gets 45 minutes in the middle of the day and sometimes a morning one, when it's cold/wet, he'd simply rather not in the morning. In the summer he often gets 2 or sometimes 1 long one depending on where we are. I do it around what he wants/needs as he's a fair-weather (read: not scorching) dog

At weekends, same number or longer if i go hillwalking.

But Millie is a 9month old show type she doesn't have the same energy as working types ^_^
