Walk tips
Walking an American Pit Bull Terrier
Pit bulls are athletic, enthusiastic walkers that usually want more than a short stroll. A brisk daily walk plus some play keeps them content, and a well-fitted harness helps with strong pullers. Their short coat gives little protection from sun and cold, so pick comfortable times of day, and check with your vet for puppies and seniors.

How we estimate
Why dogs take more steps than you
You take about 2,060 steps in a mile. Dogs walk on four legs with a shorter stride, so they take more, and smaller dogs take more still. Doggy Doo multiplies the steps you'd take over the same distance by a factor for your dog's size, then adjusts for age: puppies bound along with extra steps, and seniors slow down a little.
These are estimates, not a pedometer reading. They’re built to be consistent, so you can compare one week of walks with the next.
