We generally take the dogs out for a walk at least twice a day, although they don't really get to run round much when we take them out. We do let them out the back pretty much whenever they want to go out there so they still get to have a good run around and a bit of exercise even when at home.

Sadly, I don't take our dogs out as much. They're quite rowdy and get super excited every time we go out for a walk. And since I have my two-year old son with me as well, it can be challenging to walk them both. But sometimes, on the weekends, when my husband is available, we do go out for a walk as a family. We would sometimes go around the village or go to the nearby park here.

But like I said, our dogs are very rowdy. We can only take one or two at a time. So the best way we handle this is by alternating who gets to go with us. My husband would have to walk them as I have to handle walking our son. And after the walk, it's like a full blown workout for both of us. Haha.

I think when my son's a bit older and learns how to handle our dogs gently, then we can walk them everyday. We love going for walks anyway and bringing them would certainly be beneficial for their health.

My Beagle loves to go on walks. I try to take him twice a day, but my work does not permit me from doing more. One of his walks is fairly lengthy though and usually lasts more than an hour. He does get outside other than his two walks though. He has a spacious outdoor pen that locks that I leave him in sometimes when his walks just aren't enough for him.

Fortunately I have a big yard so they spend most of the time outside chasing birds and lizards. I used to live in an apartment and could only take them out once a day.

I walk them once a day. My dogs are Belgians they like to be active and like people, dogs need exercise too. I get my jogging done with them as well making me very fit for my age. LOL. I don't want to jog alone too I enjoy the company of dogs even if they're not my own.

Usually twice, but if they're winging then I usually just let them home the back and watch them.

There's a little walk park right by the rugby field up the road from me, so it's no trouble at all walking them twice, I walk them one at a time usually too incase they get a bit out of control.

To be honest, I don't walk my dog. Instead he goes into the backyard several times a day to take care pooping and peeing. If it is nice, I let him stay out to smell the air and sniff around the backyard. It would be best if I did keep a set schedule of a daily walk. Unfortunately, when the oppressive heat and humidity of summer hits in Texas, the last thing any living thing wants to be is outside.

In the olden days, we bring our 2 dogs to the village park where we could stroll (on a leash, of course). We usually do that on Saturday afternoons when we had nothing much to do at home. However, when there was a prevalence of diseases like distemper and rabies in our area, we stopped bringing our dogs outside. What we sometimes do is to go on a joyride, traveling by car is safer. The distemper is an airborne disease and it can be fatal when not detected early.

It would really be ideal to walk the dog. But in our street, there are lots of stray dogs that I do not know if they are clean or not. Just to be safe, our dogs are kept inside and they are used to it anyway.

I mostly walk him out once per day because I have work and when I get home it's a bit late to go out. Sometimes I am very tired but his early mornings is a must. On weekends when I am out of work , I walk him twice. Once in the morning and then I'm the evening.

A few years ago my dad used to take my biggest dog out twice at day, and he'll loved it! But we realized that at night is not a really safe hour to be out, so now he just walk him once at day and it's in the morning.
When it comes to my other dog, my mom always take him out in the afternoon for about half an hour, I think it's enough for him since he's not a really big dog and he gets bored easily.
And, when it comes to my little chihuahua, he just hates being out! So we take him out every week for not a really long time :p

I take my dogs for a walk at least once a day to the local park, they are not very rowdy and behave well enough. Although, when the raining days are very harsh, I have to withdraw all my plans in regards of taking a walk with my doggies.

I alway kept a bag or two to dispose of all the droppings my dogs leave there. Some people don't bother with picking up the smelly turds their dog leaves and that really upset me. Please, refrain from doing that, be a responsible dog owner.

Depends on how much time I have daily, a lot of times I don't take them out for a walk but it's no big deal since I own a house and they have a whole yard to play with.
I love taking my dogs out in the afternoon, after a day of work. It helps me relax and get some fresh air, plus I also meet new people that are dog enthusiasts. It sucks that I have to carry ustensils to clean up their mess outside, but I don't mind it too much.

We have a nice sized garden that my dog likes to adventure in, so it depends on his mood and my spare time. Usually I walk him at least once a day, but when the weather is nice or he's seeming a bit energetic, we might go for three walks. Also, when I walk to places in walking distance I tend to take him with me even though it's not a walk for him, as such.

We take him for walk twice a day- once in the morning and then at night before going to sleep. My dog is quite lazy and in this hot weather, he doesn't want to step out unless the weather is pleasant.

My dog is used to going out two times a day, in the morning and in the evening. Living in the apartment and not having a backyard it's the only time he can spend outdoors. But he doesn't really mind. He's not a fan of long walks and always happy to go back home, especially if it's cold outside.
