So what happens in the case of elderly dogs that might not want to walk for an hour a day?
What about those of us with back yards? I never “walk” my dogs. I throw the ball for them on my 2 acres. But mostly? They live inside and enjoy life hanging out with their humans!
My Mom had a little poodle mix who lived her entire life in the house or in her small backyard. She was a great dog who was utterly happy. Lived for 14 years. Wasn’t fat.
