The government recommends that we get at least 30 minutes of exercise each day and this is something that everybody can achieve - and go beyond - on a daily dog walk. The amount of exercise your dog needs will vary according to its breed, but every dog should have at least one walk a day, often two.
Is twice a day enough to walk a dog?
So what's the definitive answer to “how often should I walk my dog?” Well, at least once a day, but preferably twice—not counting potty breaks. If a busy work day is making it hard to fit in a midday dog walk, no worries. Reach out to a Rover walker to help meet all your dog's walking needs.
How many times a day should I take my dog on a walk?
Healthy, adult dogs should be let out at least 3 (and preferably 4) times a day.

However, dogs don't only pee to 'relieve themselves'; they also do it to leave a 'scent trail'.
