Walk tips
Walking a Bull Terrier
Bull Terriers are playful, muscular dogs that enjoy a brisk daily walk with some games mixed in. A good harness and some leash training help with their enthusiasm. Their short coat means heat and cold reach them quickly, so walk at comfortable times, 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.
