I like to walk 3 miles (10,000 steps) or plus a day for my health. Walking a fuzzy angel would be a good happiness exchange. I work from home and have been walking 3 miles plus a day. Dogs should enjoy being outside and walking too. I will keep your pup on a leash at all times. I feel more comfortable doing that to make sure your furry angel is safe during my care. I am not a dog trainer but I did teach my childhood dog all the cool tricks very fast.... and I am a dog Auntie. I am a woman who thought that if I am walking, dogs should enjoy healthy outdoor exercise as well ~ as you know, they deserve it. :)
