Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There is no set amount, it's just what you and Bruno want to do. If Bruno at a certain distance seems tired or doesn't want to go further then cut your walks a little shorter. He maybe tired or bored on super long walks. Every dog is different like people. I recommend turning around before Bruno wants to stop. I hope this helps and I hope you have a great day!
