Turner8470 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hey all, Probably a frequently asked question, but how far or for how long should a husky get walked daily? The reason i ask is that we recently moved house and, instead of doing one long walk per day, we now do 3 shorter walks for about 30-40 minutes each (between 1.5 and 3 miles depending on speed). The dogs seem to be enjoying it more with thr shorter walks and appear to exert more energy on each, so im wondering whether this is more beneficial for their health? They are both around 2 years old, so id assume they havent quite finished growing and I dont want to cause any health problems earlier on in life by doing too much or too little. Can someone please enlighten me so i can give them what they deserve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 At two years of age, they could easily go an hour or two per walk. One early in the day and one later. But your current schedule seems fine as well. I'd stick with what you are doing and reaccess in a month and make adjustments. You know your dogs better than anyone, and all dogs vary in their condition and stamina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Actually, I'd say they're all done growing at 2. Feel free to venture for longer if you like mine gets a 60-minute in the morning, 45-minute in the afternoon and if the weather allows another 30-minute in the evening.

momofallboys Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 We do two walks a day. 30-45 mins each. Axel seems to like them both and is lazy from them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Agree with my diamond, at 2 years old they're grown up and can handle longer walks. when advising pups, the guideline is five minutes per month of age. So a four month pup would have a 20 minutes walk. You could do multiple 20 mins walks per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmscott Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 · Hidden Hidden A correctly sized siberian is physically matured at 2. You should be able to start to build up to just about any distance at that age. \ Link to comment
