I have never once in my life encountered a dog that wasn’t fully on board with any type of exercise regime I took them along on. Ever. In fact every time I stopped, they got pissed off.
Ten thousand steps is the bare minimum we do. And I’m not the one enforcing it. Although I wouldn’t ask it from some kind of handbag fluff doggo.
I’ve always been of the mind that the walk is for my dog - not for me. If he wants to stop and sniff something for a long time I let him because that’s what makes the walk enjoyable for him. I will concede though that it’s easy for me to adjust the total length of the walk based on how much stopping he does but that might not be the case for everyone.
