I had an ex who wanted a dog. I wasnt like super adamant, but i was strong NO. Because I didnt want to walk a dog twice a day. Did I relent? Yes. Did she step help to help exercise the dog? No. Did I walk that dog every day until she broke up with me and kept him? Yes.
Yep my dog needs 1+ mile in the morning and at least 2 miles in the afternoon for optimal health - bowels, muscles, etc. He’s 7 now and acts like a dog half his age.
Then some of my friends are like “I try to take mine around the block at least once a week” and I am sad for their poor dog.
Hard to find good dogsitters who will actually take them on long walks too.
I walk my 10 year old husky 3 miles a day at least, and we usually go to the dog park at least every other day. He’s showing signs of aging, but he acts like a dog half his age.
When I first got a dog I learned how many people don’t walk their dogs, it’s crazy

My neighbours were like that. I saw them walk their dogs once in 10 years.
Their dogs are long gone and mine turns 18 in July.
