I typically walk at a faster pace, so your dog will get worn out from going at a faster pace and going a longer distance. Of course, for older dogs I'll slow it down. I've always had dogs growing up with all different types of personalities so I know some like to play tug, catch or just need to run out their energy. I've lived in apartments the last few years so I understand the need to get your doggo out and about to do its business and get some play time in. I have a dog Bella and she loves to go to the dog park so if its a slow day your dog will always have someone to play with at the park too.
