6-7 miles. German Shepard. He’s the reason I stay in shape.

4 year old golden retriever. 4 walks per day totaling 5-8 miles depending on the weather. He also runs around the backyard a few laps a day just to keep himself in squirrel chasing shape.

2.5 year old rescue, he's huge and weighs around 60 lbs.

He gets about 3 miles per day broken over two walks.

.25 miles / day

I have a Pomeranian mix, we walk about 1 mile per day.

She was still gaining weight so the vet recommended changing the food. She's back at normal weight.

2-3 miles in the morning, 2 miles in the afternoon, either 2-3 miles in the evening or throwing frisbees outside for 45 minutes.

18 month old Golden Retriever, no backyard.

That sounds really cruel. 2x as much as the dog wants to do? Maybe it's trying to tell you it's body aches, it can't breath, it's heart is racing. An additional mile is a long ass distance.

2-4 miles for a 65lb high energy doodle. He has never put on weight beyond becoming an adult. But we also run him in the yard, which is necessary to stem his energy.

2-3 most days.

So you over exercised the dog during the critical growth stage likely resulting in lifelong joint problems and now that he’s fully grown you’re scaling back so he can gain weight and lose fitness?

Sounds like a great approach!

Not according to the vet.

About 2 miles on average. 5 year old shepherd mix. She’d love more if we could give it to her. Plays in the yard some too.

2 miles, and I’ll be honest, I have to drag my dog the last mile.

4 yr old 40 lb Samoyed. A mile in the morning, mile in the afternoon, mile in the evening. She crept up to 46 lbs about a year ago with no change to exercise and it turned out our son (her feeder) was giving her heaping scoops of food instead of an even scoop. That bit of extra food adds up.

3 miles when it's nice outside - dry and between 50 and 70 degrees. She's super picky about weather, despite being a local country mutt.
