Walk tips
Walking a Brittany
Brittanys are bird dogs with lots of stamina, so they enjoy long walks, hikes and plenty of sniffing. A securely fenced space or long line for play helps them burn energy safely. Build distance gradually with young dogs, and check with your vet about exercise 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.
