I love her but I gotta get to work

Imagine being cooped up all day, only able to go outside 2-3 times a day. I'm with the dog on this one - if that sparks joy in them then the dog has the right idea!

Yeah - It’s Marie Kondo; not Marie Single family home with a big backyard
I'm not mad I get it, but she knows afternoon and evening walks are the long ones, in the morning we gotta go. Hoomin gotta leave.
My pup walks on the way to/from work. Its a short walk, but gets a delicious breakfast, snacksecond snack and dinner after and absolutely looses her mind. (but doesn't dilly dally, because: snacks!)
go outside 2-3 times a day
Seems a bit excessive if you ask me..
Edit: I meant for me, not for a dog. Was also being a bit facetious 😁

Walks are like tv/internet for you dog. He is mostly stimulated / entertained by smells, which he can get many different ones even on the same walk (like different chanels on the tv). He spend his whole day in the same place (same tv channel) and the walk is the one time he has to be happy. Please take your dogs out and take your time, it's not only about poop and exercise it's also about mental health for the dog

Twenty minutes, three times a day. Little fucker is so happy.
Really wish he hadn't developed a taste for licking piss off everything though

That's because walking around the neighborhood is a dog's version of reading the morning paper. They check out which other animals have been where from all the smells.

There are dogs that still read the morning paper?
I always thought of it as “checking pee-mail”. That’s also a better analogy for why they have to pee-ply so many times

Dogs instinctually practice something profound that vexes many to most humans.

They live in the moment.

My dog has never slapped me though, even after making fun of his dog-wife.

Missed oppertunity to say bitch-wife, and not be rude.
- Damn, you're right!

Might look the same to us but smells are different every day. If nothing else, just from where other dogs have walked and done their business along the route. Basically checking the pissal media feed

my doggo is an old scent hound. He's mostly deaf and can't see very well, but that snoot of his is in full operation whenever we go for a walk. He has to smell every single thing. and if it's something he likes, he'll bark at the smell.

I’m lucky enough to have a yard, but my dog knows when it’s past time to go for her walk and she’ll stare at me until I move. Morning walks right now mean I get up earlier, so she can have more sniff time.

When I travel with my pups, I use treats. She poops, gets treats. By the 3rd day, she’s heading straight to the same spot to poop real fast so she gets a treat. Give that a go.

This is why I train my dogs (or rather, get them used to) that walks and potty time are separate things.

Potty time I can just let them into the backyard and leave them be then do walks when I have the time to give them time.

People who always walk their dogs for potty time (Excluding people where that's their only choice ofc) is just setting themselves up for failure.

Gotta love the enthusiasm
