How Often Do You Need to Walk a Dog?

So, how often do you need to walk a dog? The answer to that question is not really as concrete as you may think. First of all, the answer fluctuates from pet owner to pet owner, and the most responsible pet owners have some answers in regard to how often you need to walk a dog, and that answer depends upon what kind of pet/dog that you own. Below are some sites that give answers on how often to walk certain types of dogs.

In my search to find the answer, this is what I came up with, that there is no set amount of time that you should walk your dog, that it depends upon what breed of dog that you own, and that it can fluctuate. Most of us know that a small dog probably doesn't need to be walked nearly as far a distance as a larger dog. Depending upon leg length and whether the dog is a housebound or outside breed may be another factor to consider.
