Walking him more will not increase or decrease his life span. The length of walks depend on how much he enjoys them and how hot it is outside and how much excerise he gets outside of the walks. If he has room to run and play then a walk is not necessary. If it is his only form of getting out then short ine often are aooriroriate or 1 longer one
