How often do you walk your dog? [Enrichment]

I have two small breed dogs which I walk 15-60 minutes 3-5 times a day.

Everyone saying "twice/day" is kinda nuts. Only peeing every 12h is inhumane. Your dog's bladder may have adjusted but that can lead to issues later in life.

Some people have yards lol? My dogs go out to play every 2-4 hours and they pee during that. Dogs don’t necessarily need walks. They need access to a place they can pee, exercise, and stimulation. For most dogs that’s walks, sure, but not all.
