How Often Should You Walk Your Dog?

A simple guide for Pet Owners in Gateshead

One of the most common questions I hear as a pet care provider is:

“How often should I walk my dog?”

The answer depends on a few things—but one thing’s clear: regular walks are essential for a happy, healthy pet.

I’m Kyriakos Chrysidis, and I offer affordable dog walking after 4PM in Gateshead for just £11 per walk. Here’s what you should know:

Why Walking Is So Important

Daily walks keep your dog:

Physically fit and at a healthy weight Mentally stimulated with sights and smells Calm and balanced at home Socialized and better behaved

Even short walks make a big difference—especially for dogs left home alone during the day.

So, How Often Should You Walk Your Dog?

Puppies (Under 12 Months):

2–3 short walks per day to burn energy and build leash manners.

Adult Dogs (1–7 Years):

1 long walk or 2 shorter walks a day, depending on breed and energy level.

Senior Dogs (7+ Years):

1 gentle walk per day is usually ideal, but it depends on mobility and comfort.
