I don’t want to wear him out with to much exercise, but i don’t want him to get fat either. If i take him on a walk, do you think a mile is to long or just right?

    omg my dachshund is fat. shes not too fat where she has to waddle but shes….about 35 pounds i think. well you should take your dog on a walk one to two times a day. they should get at least about 30 minutes of exercise everyday. also dont let him eat too much. he shouldnt eat a lot. if he gets fat he can have back problems. im surprised my dachsund duznt have her hind legs on a skateboard yet. anyways i hope i helped. :) ummm i need help too….this has nothing to do with this question but maybe u can help me…

    I take my small dogs for a mile long walk each time.
    Just keep an eye on his condition - if he is dragging, or puffing, maybe you need to slow down, or start with a shorter distance, and work him into the mile.
