Well depends for each dog. Anywhere from 2-20miles. I break it up sometimes between running and jogging and also ad mill work in. We also have cool down and warm up walks.

Good for you! Warm up & cool down is just as important for your dog as it is for you. I am an animal massage therapist, and I am forever telling dog and horse owners that they need to warm/cool.

Cool. I also do some massaging to the muscles, but I don't know how much that helps. Something I read and its supposed to help.

I started out intending to do horses exclusively, but I seem to do more dogs. I even did a skunk the other day.

Yep. He is really cool.

His main problem is obesity, but his owner does not want to hear that. She has heard it from the chiropractor and the acupuncturist. I told her too. Pork rinds and Skittles are not what she should be feeding him.
