    How long and how far do you walk your pups, that includes off lead as well

    An 1 hr 30 to 2 hours in the morning....combination of on and off lead
    1 hr at tea time on lead
    20 mins at bedtime on lead
    The weather here has cooled down considerably so I'm finding I'm taking him for a little trot round if he needs the loo twice a day too...just because we can,it's so nice after being cooped up in the house all summer x


    (Ah whoops ,sorry ,I was racing through the Forum to catch up ,didn't concentrate enough to see this was in Puppies...scratch me,Dexter is 2 and we both love our walks so I probably do more than necessary....
    When he raced off after the deer a few weeks backs several friends suggested 'feed him more and excercise him less' hmmmm might not be a bad idea ;D ;D ;D joke,joke,joke x)

    20 minutes morning and evening at the moment. Mostly off lead, but I've done a small amount of on-lead stuff to get her used to it out of the house.

    Harley is walked between 1-2 hours per day (mainly off lead) depending on where we go. If she has been out with the dog walker for just over an hour midday, I walk her around the block (20-25 mins on lead) in the evening.

    Charlie is 20 months now - he gets between 2 and 2.5 hours split into 3 or 4 walks through the day.

    Molly is 14 months and gets at least 2 hours split usually over 3 walks, sometimes just 2 longer ones.

    10 mins weekday mornings & half hour when I get home from work (I work very long hours), the ole ball & chain takes him out a few times in the week daytime if she has time.

    Weekends are a different matter, I litraly walk for hours with him, on lead & off lead.


    But he has free access to a reasonablysized garden & charges around out there like a loon.
