How Often Should a Dog Be Walked? Building a Walk Schedule
PDSA says most dogs need one to two walks a day unless a vet advises otherwise. Age, health, breed and personality all change that, so ask your vet, then keep the walk times steady and written down.
Dog Walk Log: How to Track Walks Across a Household
A dog walk log is one shared place where whoever walks the dog writes down when, how long and any note. It stops missed and doubled walks and gives your vet a clear record.
