Is a 30-min daily dog walk enough with snow and indoor potty?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

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

Bruno does potty both inside bathroom as well as on walk so will it be safe if I stop taking him on walk for two or three days due to snow and I usually take him on walk for 30 minutes only once in a day & rest he plays at home so is that sufficient walk for him will that going to make him lazy and his life become short or what should I do for hi best long life ?

Half an hour once a day is not enough, it should be at least double that. I would still recommend taking him out, even in the snow, for a very short time to d his business, it's unhealthy for a dog to get used doing it in the bathroom
