Re: How far people walk their dog..!?

Hi

I have two smaller dogs, one terrier X and one Corgi X!??? They get probably similar to Roo.

We are lucky in that we live in a farmhouse in farmland, so we can just go straight out onto the track and walk miles, but it is only 20 minutes in the morning on a circuit and longer in the evenings, they go to work three days a week with the other half and he walks them in the park lunchtimes, which they love, because of all the sniffs and other dog contact.

A lot depends on the dogs, but they do need to get out at least once a day for a good walk, just to relieve the boredom and do what dogs do.

I know there are days when it 'goes out the window' and you can't do as much as you like, but I never cease to be amazed at people who have training and behaviour problems, but never take there dogs anywhere!!! How are they supposed to be well adjusted dogs!!??
