Exercising a whippet ?

Question

If you lived in a flat, in a city, and had a whippet where would you take him to have a daily run?

Answer 1

A long daily walk plus a free run in the park should be fine, be careful with whippets because they have small legs that are easily broken by rough play with other dogs.

Answer 2

Every city I know has a park.  You could ride your bike and get the attachment so his leash would connect to the bike and get some exercise together.  Just a good long walk every day will do both good.

Answer 3

Well, the city should have a sidewalk so a 30 minute run on sidewalk should be fine. do you have a park near you? an off-leash dog park is good.

Answer 4

Some cities have dog parks. Also you can talk to your local doggie daycare about visiting and letting him run however it could be somewhat spendy and a hassle. A good walk around your area would get him some exercise especially a small dog. But as you probably know whippets have a lot of energy and love to run. A dog park would be cheapest and the best choice, if your dog is behaviorment wise able to go. try google.com/maps and search for dog parks or dog friendly parks in your area.

Answer 5

A "Bark Park" would be great if there is one in your area, otherwise, you're confined to leash walking your pup, because most likely there is a leash law.  A good 30-45 minute brisk walk should do the trick.  I would check to see if there are any local "Dog-Parks" within a reasonable distance if I were you, that way you can usually turn your fur kid loose to get that much needed excercise.
