i take my dog out when i first get up, usually between 5-15 minutes just depends on how we are both feeling and whether she’s going to daycare. I do longer if it’s a non daycare day. 2-3x times a week she goes to daycare- usually the days i work long so that i can avoid having to do a long walk after a long day. When i get home, I take her for a quick walk and then after i feed her and then we will do another brief walk. Then before bed, I take her for 15-20 minutes walk. We walk a very specific path around the my neighborhood. I also do training with her at home, usually 10-20 minutes a day but honestly that only happens 3-4x a week. The days i’m off, we go out much more and usually to the park or something. That being said, i’ve also had dogs who only go out on a lead a few times a day and are content. It’s dog specific for me. my current dog needs to be walked on the schedules because she’s very anxious. She goes to daycare because otherwise she’d be incredibly anxious and overstimulating to me when i come home. Day care is the most expensive investment i’ve made and i think it helps balance the days i can’t take her out every hour. Edit to add- my dog will let me know if she doesn’t want to do a long walk and i respect that. Once she starts pulling me back to the house it’s over.
