Weekly summary
This week: 6 walks, 4h 20m, 19.4 km. A working breed at this age typically needs substantially more than a companion breed of the same size.
How the Dog Walk Tracker works
- Log each walk with duration; distance is useful but duration is what most guidance is expressed in.
- Record conditions when they matter — heat in particular changes what is safe.
- Compare weekly totals against breed and age guidance rather than a universal number.
FAQ
How much exercise does a dog need?
It varies enormously by breed, age and health. A working breed may need hours daily while a brachycephalic or elderly dog needs much less. Breed guidance is a starting point and your vet knows your individual animal.
Are there limits for puppies?
Yes, and they matter. Growing joints can be damaged by excessive or high-impact exercise, and common guidance limits structured walks by age. Free play at their own pace is generally considered different from enforced walking.
What about hot weather?
Heat is genuinely dangerous, particularly for flat-faced breeds. Pavement temperature matters as much as air temperature, and walking early or late rather than at midday is the standard advice.

Dog Walk Tracker frames totals against breed and age, since a number that suits a collie can be too much for a puppy or an elderly dog.
