Walk tips
Walking a Toy Poodle
Toy Poodles are bright, lively little dogs that enjoy short walks and plenty of play. Their small size means hot pavement and cold weather affect them quickly, so choose comfortable times of day. A harness is a popular choice for toy breeds; 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.
