Is 30 minutes twice daily enough for my dog, and should I vary routes?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 9 months old

Will it be safe to tale him on walk for 30 minutes daily twice to near by area for everyday or we should change our walking area also

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think that amount of time would be great, especially for a typically athletic and active German Shepherd. In terms of the area you walk him at, you may vary to keep it fun and interesting for him. Avoid walking him for that long if it is too hot outside as he may get too warm. Offer him water at different intervals. Good luck and have a good evening!
