Dog owners come in

[lizo11]

When my H and I were walking in the pouring rain last night, we were talking about dog-walking habits, and ours vs. the rest of the neighbors. So I am curious...

Do you walk your dog or just let them hang out in the backyard?

How long do you walk your dog everyday?

How far do you walk your dog? Is it just until business is done, or do your have a path you follow, no matter when the business happens?

Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together?

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distance?

How many times a day do you walk your dog?

[Deleted]

Do you walk your dog or just let them hang out in the backyard? normally she's in the back yard, but if it's a good day out and I'm not in pain, we walk her

How long do you walk your dog everyday? when we do walk her, its 30+ minutes

How far do you walk your dog?around our neighborhood Is it just until business is done, or do your have a path you follow, no matter when the business happens? No, she never does her business outside of the yard so we just walk her to deplete energy

Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together? H has to hold the leash..she'll rip my arm off if I do it

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distnace? Then we don't walk her

How many times a day do you walk your dog? Rarely anymore since it is almost 100 out. So we run with her or play with her in the back yard


Mind you we live on a 1/2 acre and our backyard is huuuuge. She loves it.

[lizo11]

Do you walk your dog or just let them hang out in the backyard? we walk him everyday, he would destroy the house and the backyard if we didn't get walks in

How long do you walk your dog everyday? mornings--20-30 minutes depending, after work--30 minutes, after dinner--30 minutes, so around an hour and a half

How far do you walk your dog? all total, about 3 miles during the week, and about 6-10 on the weekends, especially if we go hikingIs it just until business is done, or do your have a path you follow, no matter when the business happens? we have various loops around the neighborhood that we follow

Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together? I do the mornings, and then we usually do the after work and after dinner walks together

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distance? It doesn't for me, but it does for my husband, so I usually get crappy weather duty, and he gets to dry off the dog. I win in this!

How many times a day do you walk your dog? during the week, 3 times, weekends, usually closer to 5 or 6

[darkling_glory]

Do you walk your dog or just let them hang out in the backyard?
No yard, so we walk him. He can't be off leash, because of a high prey drive. If a bunny shows up, he'll be off like a flash!

How long do you walk your dog everyday?It depends on the weather. French Bulldogs don't do great in hot weather, so if it's over 75 he just goes out for his business and he's done. If it's nice out, he gets a 20 minute walk when I come home from work.

How far do you walk your dog? Is it just until business is done, or do your have a path you follow, no matter when the business happens?He goes out 4 times a day - when it's just to pee it's down the steps, pee, back up. When it's a poop time, we walk to a bigger area and then back up. Once a day, the walk is about 20 minutes around the block. Bulldogs aren't great walkers

Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together?I get the before work and after work poop walks (lucky me). Hubby gets the pee walks at lunch and before bed. The longer 20 minute walk is usually me, but sometimes we go together

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distnace?Dozer is a big baby, so it's hard to get him to go out in the rain/snow. It's just a quick trip and that's all.

How many times a day do you walk your dog?1 long walk and 4 potty breaks - two poops, and two pees

[MissusTexas]

Do you walk your dog or just let them hang out in the backyard? I try not to ever let Miko be in the backyard unsupervised for too long, but I only take him for a walk once a week. Most nights I take him to the dog park or to play with his "girlfriend", the doberman next door whose owner we're friends with. They can play for hours!

How long do you walk your dog everyday? When I do walk him it's only for about 20 minutes

How far do you walk your dog? Is it just until business is done, or do your have a path you follow, no matter when the business happens? It's probably half a mile or something. He just likes to get out and pee on things, but he never goes #2 on walks.

Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together? I do everything with the dog usually

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distnace? Yes, we won't go and I'll wear him out in the house

How many times a day do you walk your dog?

[pilife]

Do you walk your dog or just let them hang out in the backyard?
We just let them out.. but they have 4 acres to run on and know better than to go near the road.

How long do you walk your dog everyday? They come back in pretty quick when it's high 90s+, but on nice days they stay out until they come to the porch and bark. If we're going to leave, the big one goes in the fence in the back and the little one comes inside. If it's hot they're both inside.

How far do you walk your dog? Is it just until business is done, or do your have a path you follow, no matter when the business happens?

Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together?

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distance? The little one acts no different. The big one doesn't leave the covered area.

How many times a day do you walk your dog? Every time I go outside they have the option to go with me. Sometimes the little one doesn't come; the big one comes every time.

[alabasterangel]

We have two small terriers and a large fenced in yard so it is mostly just them playing and running in the yard. The younger one has quite a by of energy though so she goes to daycare once a week and has play dates with larger dogs to wear her out.

I take care of all things dog. The Husband lets them in and out one final time and puts them into their kennel when he goes to bed at night.

As an aside: the asshole who walks his dog past our house a dozen times a day? Never has a bag. Never. Clean up after your damn dogs!

[treedimensional]

Do you walk your dog or just let them hang out in the backyard?
Both.

How long do you walk your dog everyday? How far do you walk your dog? Our 3mi walks have been reduced to about 30 min a day. She's old, diabetic, and blind and has multiple health challenges now.


Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together? He does nothing.

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distance? Yes, sometimes, because the weather affects every other part of my day. Rain can throw my whole schedule off b/c I work outside.

How many times a day do you walk your dog? Usually twice, but she goes outside multiple times during the day.

Lately I have been just letting the pups wear eachother out in the new back yard.

How long do you walk your dog everyday?
our neighbor hood is a weird shape so it takes about a half an hour to get back home. We also live near a park so we walk there and let the bigger dog off the leash if no one is around and walk around the creek.

one dog usually does her buisness early on so the rest is just an energy release and takes about a half an hour.

Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together?
no, I mostly do it unless we walk to the park then we both go.

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distance?

The dogs are big babies and don't want to be I the rain

This is why I have a leash with the bag holder built into it. I am never without bags.

[alabasterangel]

I don't even walk my dogs and I have a roll of bags in my purse and van at all times.

Do you walk your dog or just let them hang out in the backyard? We went from a very small apt to a house with a large backyard, they love the back yard so, when we let them, they will hang out there almost all day

Our dog will not go out in the rain at all, they dont' like to get wet

How many times a day do you walk your dog?

[duff]

Do you walk your dog or just let them hang out in the backyard? Generally, they just get run of the back yard, but M will take them out once or twice a week for a longer run in the mesa.

How long do you walk your dog everyday? When M takes them, he'll run with them for about 3-4 miles. When I used to take them, it'd only be about 2 miles b/c Chloe will pull my arm out of the socket...I'm too slow for her.

How far do you walk your dog? Is it just until business is done, or do your have a path you follow, no matter when the business happens? See above. Our dogs are weird...they won't do their business on a walk/run.

Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together? M has been doing it since I can't even walk right now, but even at that, he is usually the one to take them.

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distance? Yep, it'll change it to 0 miles.

How many times a day do you walk your dog? Only 1-2 times/week. They're in and out of the back yard all day/evening though. It's nearly impossible to try and keep those dogs inside.

[eureka1017]

Do you walk your dog or just let them hang out in the backyard? Its a mixture. We walk the dogs but we also let them out in the backyard

How long do you walk your dog everyday? about an hour, where we live there is a retention pond/lake so we walk around the circle a few times

How far do you walk your dog? Is it just until business is done, or do your have a path you follow, no matter when the business happens? depends on the time, in the am its just until they do their business, in the pm its longer and we walk for awhile.

Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together? depends. usually together

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distance? yes. if its raining we do not walk around, we let them out back.

How many times a day do you walk your dog? 2 on weekends its more because we usually take them wherever we go (we are pretty outdoorsy)

Do you walk your dog or just let them hang out in the backyard? I walk her because we don't have a backyard.

How long do you walk your dog everyday? Just up down a few sidewalks for a little bit.

How far do you walk your dog? Is it just until business is done, or do your have a path you follow, no matter when the business happens? We just walk as long as we feel like. She'll start heading for our door when she's done walking.

Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together? We split it pretty evenly. DH is really good about walking her if I need him to.

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distance? Not really, because I just grab an umbrella and put her doggie raincoat on her.

How many times a day do you walk your dog? Maybe 3 or so.

[cowgirlcutie]

How long do you walk your dog everyday? at least 30 mins twice a day, she'd be insane otherwise

How far do you walk your dog? Is it just until business is done, or do your have a path you follow, no matter when the business happens? I take her to the park beside our house and play frisbee usually. We live in a rural town so I've trained her to go off into a field to do her business

Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together? it is fairly evenly, if we are both home we'll go together

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distance? definitely, its a run, do your business and run home

How many times a day do you walk your dog? at least twice, I often take her to the farm where I work part time to run loose and explore too

[wineenthusiast]

We have a pretty large fenced in yard so we let our dogs out while sorta supervising in the doorway. My dogs get there shiz done and come right back, they do not want to be left out any longer than necessary. On warm/nice days I often go out with them and checkout my plants.

H and I both take care of the dogs about equally.

I will take them on walks, just to go @ the neighborhood sometimes. When I run, my male will come with. He's an excellent running companion and he loves it.

[honeydew1894]

How long do you walk your dog everyday? about a mile

How far do you walk your dog? Is it just until business is done, or do your have a path you follow, no matter when the business happens? we walk around our development

Do you walk your dog or just let them hang out in the backyard?

We used to have a fenced yard. When we did, it was mostly backyard. Now we don't, so she gets walks. We will have a fenced yard again in 3 months, at which time we'll go back to the yard.

How long do you walk your dog everyday? AM- take her to the on-site dog park which my apt complex has. PM- 30 minutes.

How far do you walk your dog? Is it just until business is done, or do your have a path you follow, no matter when the business happens?

AM business, PM walk the route.

Do you and your H split the duty evenly, or does one do most of it, or do you walk together?

H does most of the dog care. Now that the weather's nice I often go along.

If it is raining/sleetting/snowing/etc. does it change your routine or distance?

Heavy rain and my dog won't go. Sometimes you can coax her into peeing, but that's it.

How many times a day do you walk your dog?

2-3x. She knows how to ask to go out and she rarely does so. She's also an extremely sedentary dog who doesn't need long walks to burn energy, although she does enjoy them.

Once we have a yard again she'll likely get 1-3 walks/week. Our old neighborhood was wooded and had several strays which my dog would provoke by barking and lunging at. Breaking up dogfights with strange dogs is really scary, so we stopped walking her.
