Kieferwolf Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Was talking to a lass over by mine other day she has two dogs and she looked at me funny when I said my sibes only get walked once a day. Is that all she said, mine are out at least 2-3 times now bearing in mind I have three sibes and minimum they get walked Is anywhere from 3miles upto if on a weekend 7-8 miles. Gradually I am also running the 3 together, our youngest is still abit young for ten mile runs just yet lol just curious how often people take there dogs out what distances etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyka&Diva Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 depends on work really at the minutes if im not at work they do 1 mile in the morning and about 2 in the evening if im at work during the day they just get the evening walk x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Mine get one or two walks a day one of these walks will always be over an hour and a few miles! The second walk is normally about half an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devildust76 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 As Kodi is still a baby we try and limit him to 2 long walks (4-5 miles) a week and shorter walks (1-2 miles) for the rest of it. On work days he gets one shorter walk in the morning and one in the evening. At the weekend he has one long walk on both days. We will increase the length of the longer walks as he gets older but the shorter walks seem to be just fine for him at the moment. I'm not sure if it's because he is a Mal but he can take or leave his walks and is in no particular hurry to get anywhere when we go out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieferwolf Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 See my partner works long hours ie today she started work at 8am and she will be home around 10-1030. She doesn't work that everyday but easy 2-3 days a week i work nights now I am back home ie 3-4 ten hour shifts so its either I walk sibes the minute I get in or on me day offs and I prefer one longer walk because if I walk my dogs 15-30 mins they look at me like is that all when we get home lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWolf Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Usually two to three per day. I don't know which route(s) Ruth walks but one of my own favourite is about 2.3 miles long. I vary it so sometimes it's longer and sometimes it's shorter depending on the weather and dogs. So that is ~2.3 mile per walk. I'd love to do more but they're getting into the old age and I noticed they slowly require (and want) less distance per walk. Each walk is usually 45-60 minutes long. These are just the regular walks by the way. Once in a while I take them to somewhere else (the forest, dunes or beach) and do a lengthy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Suka is out only once a day, for 50 minutes (about 3 km). We go at night when its cooler during the summer, and during the day when its warmer during winter. I know its not much, but that's all he wants. He's also 7 years old.

Osinn11 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 We average about 1.5 hours a day on work days. It varies on weekends. The past 3 Saturdays Cj has been out with us all day! I would say we average 12-14 hours a week away from home walking/running Cj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoseWillow&Dexter Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Mine don't get walked every day, they do play in the backyard all day too. I find they are happy with whatever they are given. In winter they start to get a bit restless after a few days They also get trips to the dog park/beach for a few hours on the weekends From my experience don't let people guilt you into what you 'should' be doing because it is what they do. Everyones different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 depending on the situation, mine normally get walked in the morning and afternoon, not so much in the winter as morning walk is at 6 in the morning which is too dark But every evening they get a walk, some times half hour but more often than not longer. At weekends we go on longer walks one of my dogs could walk forever the other is rather lazy...but they get play time at home and back garden time if their walks wasnt enough. shouldnt worry about how many or how long, as long as they are getting what they need and you feel they need thats all you need to worry about (my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Sorry to ask, I'm a new siberian husky owner. Beau is 13weeks . She gets 2-3 walks a day. Weekend she gets 1hr each day. She has access to garden all the time. I was recommended 5min per month of age. So they don't develop hip probs. Is this true? And what did everyone else do. Thanks xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bec Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Walks? Maybe once or twice a week or more depending on if I want to go for a run or not. I take them out and about with me a lot but I don't go out of my way to walk the dogs, plenty of other ways to exercise etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I think it's different for all dogs. Mollie let's us know if she wants a walk but she gets two walks a day and the time and distance all depend on who is walking her and what shifts we are on. When Nick walks her she goes further in a short time as he marches with her but when I take her out we don't go as far as I am too busy talking to other owners and Mollie is running around with their dog sometimes she just drags me home as she wants her food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjwrx Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Panda usually goes out 2-3 times a day. Morning walks are around 1 hour, when i get home from work he goes to the dog park for 2 Hours, and sometimes he will get a night time walk depending on how tired he is from the park, which is about a 40 min to - 1 hour walk. But usually as long as he gets to go to the park he is tired out and will just lay/sleep till the next morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
