The flexible middle
Many medium dogs can handle 45 to 90 minutes of total daily exercise when healthy, split between walks, sniffing, play, and training.
Do not chase the clock
A calm 30-minute sniff walk can be more satisfying than a rushed hour on a lead, especially in damp or windy conditions.
Watch recovery
If your dog sleeps normally and moves comfortably afterwards, the amount is probably close. Stiffness, reluctance, or restless over-arousal are signs to adjust.
A good dog walk is not just distance. Weather, surface, sniffing, and recovery all count.
For today's local conditions, return to the dog walk forecast and adjust the surface and dog settings.
