What time of day? How much? For how long? What do you do? Just walk or do you play games or train? Is exercise strict and structured or does your dog get some element of choice what you do? Take me through what you do on an average day.
I'm trying to increase the amount my dog gets, just slightly. He's not fat but I feel he could lose a couple lbs and cannot really afford to put on any weight. I'm not going to put him on diet, just maybe cut down on the amount of people food he gets, because he probably gets more than he ought to.
At the minute he is getting two good games of fetch per day and 45-50 mins of walking, but want to increase that to an hour/hour and a quarter. We tend to spread it throughout the day - usually two 25 minute walks, each with a game of fetch attached. As well as that, he gets taken out throughout the day just to toilet, as we have no garden.So what's your dog's daily excerise routine?
What time of day?
Morning, afternoon, and evening
How much? For how long?
Usually one 30 minute walk, quick 20 minute walk, and one 30 minute run or bike ride for Sasha. On weekends, we go for a 5 mile hike.
For Chopper he gets a the same as Sasha, but no running.
Few times a week, we go to the dog park.

I walk or run. Half is strict, half is lenient. I mix in some training. At the dog park, they are off leash and get to go where they wantSo what's your dog's daily excerise routine?
I get up at 5am at the moment leave the kids with hubby and take my 2 dogs for a 30 min walk have to leave for work at 6am so cant take them out for long
At night 30 Min's again normally im in from work at 7 after driving for 2 hours to get home just don't have the energy at weekends they get an hour twice a day just wish it could be more
Get up at 6:30 or 7 every morning and go for a 15-30 minute walk before i leave for work.
When i get home from work at around 5:30 we got for a 1 hour walk/jog. I let him run around the empty field near the house and chase gophers, birds and rabbits. He also gets to play with other dogs there too.
We play with his toys (tug-o-war and catch) usually around 8ish, or he plays catch the rabbit (my husband hides stuff under blankets and makes the dog find it)
On the weekends the morning walk is usually increased to 1 hour and he also get an afternoon and evening walk.
In summer we go for bike rides as well during the evenings and weekends. I have a bike attachment (walkydog) that allows him to run beside my bike.
They get a 10-15 minute walk in the morning after breakfast. When we're home during the day, we take them to the dog park or local nature park for 1-2 hour long hike or romp. They get training/playtime for about 30-hour early afternoon. Then another short walk before ours and their dinner and yet another short one before bedtime.
We have a dog door if they only need to eliminate. They will also play heavily with each other which really tires them out. If we aren't home (longest about 5 hours) during the day, they get a short walk in the morning, a long walk when someone gets home and the two evening/night walks. Seems to suffice!
Normally our Sheltie gets three 15-30 min walks a day but with our foster who is still very young, we have to make outside trips more frequent. Gus is not mad about it at all!
I go for an afternoon walk with my dog's for about 10-15 mins.
We usually do 3 walks a day. In NYC, local parks have legal off-leash hours, which is before 9a.m., so we try to get to our local park by 7:45, so they have over anhour of freedom. Sometimes, we play fetch, sometimes we use the children's playground where the dogs climb up the slide and then slide down, others we walk around the park. The dogs are out and moving around for over an hour.
Our afternoon walk is around 4p.m., usually we walk thru the park, sometimes we'll stop and I'll do some grooming and take a nice walk. I would say we walk about a mile.
We also have our training classes, both agility and obedience. So they're moving around alot there too.
Our last walk is at 9:30, that's our potty walk, so it's a quick potty trip.
Right now though, the dogs are going stir crazy. I had some knee surgery and I'm currently on crutches, so the dog walker is walking the dogs. They're bored and so am I. My friend is going to run my adult dachshund in agility class this week, just to get him out.
8:00 am 1-2 mile jog.
11:00 am - 5 mile hike at Piers Gorge or 3 mile walk downtown
3:00 pm - 2 mile walk, 1 hour of Disc training, swimming. Or 2 mile bike ride to the Boat Docks, swimming for 1 hour, 2 mile bike ride home.
In between are mental exercises, you know practicing commands, etc.
I, personally love taking him for bike rides and swimming, they both are very good for building muscle. Swimming is also a very good workout and little harm to the joints!
Playing disc is an everyday thing as well.
On a rainy day I like to play ';stair fetch'; we have really long and wide steps, I just throw the ball down the stairs, he brings it back then throw it again.
They get a early morning walk for about a mile. In the afternoon they swim until I make them get out%26lt;g%26gt;
Around dark I take them for about a half of mile. It is already too hot to take them far. The rest of the day they run outside pee and run back in to the air conditioner vents.
I let my dog run around the empty field near the house, birds and cats. He also gets to play with other dogs there too.
We play with my dog toys (you can find at http://petdogtoys.blogspot.com/) usually around 8sh, or my dog plays catch the rabbit (my daughter hides stuff under blankets and makes the dog find it)
Erm well they get a 2 hour walk with the dog waker; no idea what time of day they go and also do not know what the walks entale.
I get home from school some days at 2.30pm other days at 3.45pm depending. I take them over to the park once I've changed. Herbie spends the whole walk off lead, running about, searching for squirrels, paddling in the water and every now and then he'll come walk at heel if he fancies it. He's not always visible to me but he knows where I am plus, our house is only over the road if he were to get lost; call me irrasponsible if you wish.
Fern is always within a 2 meter radar. She comes off lead to poop and run across the field, then do 4 jumps into the lake, the rest of the walk she is on her lead. We have 3 areas that we stop at to train. The training lasts from 20-45 minutes each stop, however we only normally stop at two. Herbie stays tied the fence because he used to follow people who had food when I was training Fern. Fern comes off lead and the training is our gundog training, so lots of running about and hunting. I lied, she also comes off lead to swim and she swims a lot: you know Sefton Park, she swims in every lake... EVERY! On the way back, coming across the last field the two run and chase and play. Our afternoon walks are around 2 hours long.
Of a weekend; every other Saturday my mum walks them in the morning for about an hour through the fields were they are allowed to do whatever they want much to my annoyance! The other Saturdays we take them to Speke fields and I 'hunt' her while Herbie runs up and down the shore changing from brown to black- 2 hour walk. They then jest around the city with us in the car or in the garden for the rest of the day.
Sunday, we drive up to Ormskirk for my gundog lesson. That lasts an hour, while I train, my mum walks through the fields with Herbie. In the afternoon I go to the puppy classes to help out, while Fern sleeps in her crate, then I get her out for our training and agility lesson- one hour long.

I go back to school at two and come back at half past five. I go for a long 90 minute walk. Sometimes I take them out after dinner, I like taking them for walks at night, LOL.
They are pretty high energy.
