How often do you take your dog for a walk?

I don't have a dog, I have a cat but i have just started dog sitting for the next door neighbours dog and we are going for a walk every morning that isn't raining, I am not a morning person at all but i thought i would give him his walk as early as possible so this morning was our first day, and i must say i enjoyed it so much, a cold frosty morning it was but it felt so good....I think for the next six weeks i am going to be fitter than I have been for a long time...

I do not walk my dog at all. We have a good sized yard and Lucy loves to play fetch!!! Not much exercise for me but the dog loves it!!!

I don't typically need to take my dog out on real walks anymore. I had to when he was a puppy as he was crazily hyperactive but once he settled down he's perfectly happy being walked in the garden to do his business and sniff around a bit 4-5 times a day and then sleep on the sofa. We don't walk on roads any more than perhaps a couple of times a week, more often if the weather is nice but it usually isn't here. The amount of walks heavily depends on the breed of dog however. The little exercise I am giving mine would make for example a border collie crazy as a working breed like that require several hours of exercise per day regardless of weather. Every dog has different needs.

I think the best way to train a dog is by taking them out every three to four hours. I have a little 6 pound dog and in order to prevent it from relieving itself in the house we have her on a very strict regiment.
