Walk tips
Walking a Weimaraner
Weimaraners are high-energy hunting dogs that thrive on long walks, runs and plenty to do. Once fully grown, many make great running partners, built up gradually. Their short coat offers little warmth, so a coat helps in cold weather; check with your vet before adding running, especially 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.
