Walk tips
Walking a Havanese
Havanese are cheerful, social little dogs that enjoy a couple of short walks a day and lots of company. They're happy with a relaxed pace and time to greet people along the way. Small dogs feel heat and cold quickly, so pick 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.
