How often should you walk your adult lab?

Answer 1

You do not need to walk a Labrador. As long as the dog is getting regular exercise, you do not need to walk it. However, if the dog does not get that exercise it should be walked at least once a day.

Answer 2

I have a mixed breed of dog and would think about half an hour every other day.

----

I have had 3 Labradors, and many other dogs throughout my life.

Here's my general rule of thumb: If the Lab is still a puppy (under 1 year old) at least 5 minutes for every month old it is. So a 4 month old dog would need a 20 minute walk every day.

After that a Lab needs AT LEAST a 1 hour walk EVERY DAY, preferably longer. You can substitute some of the time with playing fetch, going to the dog park, something outside the house. It doesn't matter if you have a big yard, then need to be mentally challenged for at least an hour a day. Without a proper challenge, they will either be uncontrollably hyper and destructive all the time, or get lazy and fat. It doesn't take much time out of your day to exercise your dog.

So in short, at least 7 hours a week for a full grown Labrador.
