If my dog has a big yard, does I need to walk him too?
Walk for Exercise
The answer here is yes, you do need to walk him. Believe it or not, dogs loose in a back yard seldom will get the exercise they need. Their time may often be spent sleeping or lounging. Try taking your canine out for a walk daily or several times a week to build strength, burn calories and for a change of scenery. His behavior will improve for they will have spent any pent up energy and you'll burn off a few calories at the same time!
