Many people get a dog but don't care about the responsibility that comes with that decision.

You will have to walk the dog, even if you don’t want to, you’re not in the mood, or you have more important things to do.

But people still wonder how many times a day they need to walk their dog because they have a family, work, hobbies and other things to do.

Let's figure out how many times a day you need to walk your dog.

How many times should you take your dog for a walk?

Walking a dog once a day is a myth. Many dog trainers disagree with this point of view.

The minimum number of walks per day for a dog is two times, and no more than 12 hours should pass between them.

The number of walks per day is also affected by the age, condition and breed of the dog. For example, you can walk a small breed dog for 20 minutes.

But it's important to base it on your dog's personality and needs. Sometimes they need to be outside a little longer, otherwise they'll get sad.
