Question

I just started walking my dog 2 times a day can that hurt her paws if she is not used to it?

Answer 1

No. Walking your dogs twice a day is the perfect way for them to get exercise. Just keep her on a regular schedule, maybe like in the morning and at night i assume...Her paws should be fine because twice a day is recommended for most dogs...!

Have fun with you dog!

Answer 2

Don't think it will matter for her paws but I knew someone who took their spaniel around with them everywhere they went and after a while it became over-exercised and it developed some kind of stress injury or something. But I think that was more than just two walks a day.  

Answer 3

I wouldn't think so.

Answer 4

no walking is good but if the ground is hot it will if its hot theres paw pads you put on dogs paws to help her and she will need lots of water

Answer 5

of course it can.  although it largely depends on the breed and the landscaping of your area.  walk her just once a day, see if her paws are doing ok, then either gradually increase the walking time or begin taking your dog out for the second time once in a while.  again, watch your dog closely.  there are rules when it comes to dog walking, but every pet is an individual and no one can tell you better than your dog personally.

Answer 6

if u overwalk a pup it can hurt there legs so dont walk to far try build it up overtime

Answer 7

no i don't think so

Answer 8

It wont hurt their paws. But if your dog is out of shape then it may hurt her/his health. Try walking maybe a few times a week. Then gradually go once a day. and so on. Dogs are like people when it comes to excercise. You must start slowly and then build yourself up

Answer 9

Yes and no. A dog that is not use to walks will get sore paws but it only last a few minutes. The more you walk the dog the more she'll get use to it and her paws will become stronger. So at the start when you both get home her paws will be hurting for two or three minutes but stop. It's just as if you took a 3 mile walk and you come home and your feet are sore. It's nothing harmful. My dogs like it.  

Answer 10

No the exercise is good for her. You don't have to overdo it the first few days, work up to longer distances.
