I'd say work on the 5min rule as your foundation but keep an eye on your pups, if they are tired and lag towards the end then reduce it, if they are still full of beans then increase a little bit.
Keep an eye and go with your gut.

thanks for this! we go for a walk at 6:30am for a half hour walk and they get fed when we get back. they then have the run of the kitchen and garden until 8:30am when my partner goes to work.
They are then left in the kitchen free to roam.
They then have an hour at lunch time when they are fed and let out in the garden to run around for an hour
They are then left in the kitchen free to roam.
At 6pm i get in from work and they get fed and then have the run of the kitchen and garden until walk time. which depending on how hot it is starts between 8-9pm for half an hour. Then when they are back home they get the run of the whole downstairs while we are watching tv and allowed in the garden as the door is open the whole time!
When they are on their walks they seem to really really enjoy it and dont seem tired or lagging at all! but maybe half an hour is too long?
They are two beagles
