While I never had a dog in my home growing up, I've had long-standing dog sitting and walking relationships with neighbors and friends since high school. I've become effective at picking up on the signals that dogs give off to adjust our walks accordingly, such as bringing a dog to a park to run around if they have a ton of energy, or stopping at appropriate times for rest/water breaks. With this skill, you can ensure that your pet will have a walk that is right for him or her.
