Walk tips
Walking a Siberian Husky
Huskies are built to run and pull, so they need plenty of exercise and love long walks in cool weather. Their thick coat means warm days are hard going, so walk early or late and keep summer outings short. They're famous escape artists, so use a secure harness; 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.
