How often/long are your walks?

Hi everyone! I wanted to get a sense of how long or how far people are walking their dogs or what do you do when you can’t go on walks some days. For context, my puppy is an 11-month-old Pit/Husky/Boxer mix who’s entered his second fear stage, what used to not bother him has become scary.

I’ve stopped setting a strict “time” goal for walks and now focus on multiple shorter walks that add up to about 2 miles per day, plus enrichment activities at home. If he’s handling the walk well, we keep going; if he starts getting overstimulated, we end the walk early.

What do you all do to help your dogs burn energy, especially during fear periods? We already do frozen Kongs, snuffle mats, and pupsicles at home, but I’d love to hear what’s been working for others.
