How long should I walk my dog?

A widely shared rule of thumb for puppies is about 5 minutes of walking per month of age, a couple of times a day, while adult walk length varies by breed size and energy. This calculator gives a general orientation, not a prescription — always consult your veterinarian.

What is the "5 minutes per month of age" rule?

It is a common general guideline suggesting a puppy is walked roughly 5 minutes for each month of its age, per session (for example, about 15 minutes at 3 months), usually twice a day. It is orientation only and should be adjusted to the individual dog.

Does breed size change how long I should walk my dog?

Generally, larger and higher-energy breeds tend to be walked longer as adults than smaller or lower-energy breeds. The calculator adjusts its general guideline by the breed’s size tier and the dog’s age.
