[quote=Anonymous]Two factors: how old is the dog? What is the weather? When we first adopted our rescue, she had just turned a year old. She needed, really needed, four walks a day. A quick walk upon rising (10 mins); an hour in the morning; an hour or so later in the day, and 20 mins or so before bedtime. Now that she's 3.5, she's much more mellow. She still gets a long morning walk and a walk later in the day, but she will often abbreviate her later walk to a quick spin down the block to sniff the pee spots. If it's very cold, windy, or raining, she doesn't want that. I should mention we have a doggy door. If it's cold out, she will sometimes start heading home in the middle of our morning walk. Get into a routine with your dog. If your dog happily heads home at the end of your walk route, or play session with the neighbor, that's a sign that she's well settled and has a comfortable routine. Also, if you are walking in snow and salt and grit, clean the dogs paws.[/quote]
