He's a big bouncy lab so he gets a bit
Half six before work/school every morning.
Then someone takes him round the block at lunchtime
1-1.5 hours after school
then once again round the block at about half nine
It's mostly so our garden isnt completely soiled lol

Twice a day, for about half an hour each time. I'm thinking of reducing this though because my dog is ancient and just doesn't seem to enjoy walking anymore, seems like too much effort for her now

Twice a day for about 15 minutes - but mine is only 11 weeks old!

We take ours once a day bless her and she has few hours at the weekend

We were told Yorkies only like 45minutes walk, no ours more like all day. She hates the rain though

Not walking a Husky, yeah right good idea that with a breed that's been used/bred as a sled dog for years.
Would have started howling, chewing the furniture or probably dug it's way out of the Garden eventually.
I guessing the not going for a walk thing was to stop the dog pulling, extreme way of doing that.

I know some breeds do nothing around the house and appear lazy, doesn't mean they don't need a walk.

From what I've been told, that is perfect

For pups under 6 months, five minutes per month of life twice a day so you don't over exercise.

(Don't take as gospel - just what a few breeders have told me)

Anyone else finding their dog doesn't want it's evening walk at the moment? Our staffy won't leave the street atm even if no fireworks can be heard

He loves his morning walk, and afternoon one but will not go out on an evening. I'm hoping it's fireworks!

Two of my dogs are up for any walk, but one is reluctant on the evening walk.

Sounds harsh, but we don't take any nonsense. We jolly her along, offer treats but basically we are walking and she is coming with us. It is fireworks that has done this, but she has to learn that loud bangs are not a threat even if that means I have to carry her on the walk. Being a 7lb dog, carrying is an option.

I'd say an enthusiastic voice, and some high value treats (dried liver? diced chicked?) - might well work. Staffs like their food don't they?

Mine didn't want to leave the pub last night, might try it again tonight

My old girl of 15yrs has to be coaxed to go out, within about 10 mins she just turns and comes back home and settles in front of the telly for the night...
When she was young and fit twice a day till age 8 then once a day .

Thankfully ours couldn't care less. I've been quite worried because this would be his first experience of fireworks, but we had him at the park on Saturday night when a group of people set off a load of them over the other side. (it's a big park luckily)

We saw them setting up and managed to get him on lead, but we decided to stick around since we'd never make it home in time anyway. Barney flinched when the first couple went off, but after that he just sat and watched, then started playing with his football as if there weren't explosions going off all around him.

The last few nights when we've taken him out there's been fireworks going off and he doesn't even seem to notice. It's a nice change really since my last dog would practically drag me off my feet to get home at the slightest little bang.

Twice a day for 30-45 mins. They're farm dogs though so they're free to please themselves chasing birds and hikers () and whatnot in the day. I'd probably take them longer, but the oldest one struggles with anything longer than that. The upside of that, on the subject of fireworks, is that he used to be absolutely terrified of them and would get very neurotic and destructive, as border collies are prone to do, at this time of year, but nowadays the old lad can barely hear a thing unless you shout directly in his ear, so they don't bother him at all!
