Bear in mind I don't have an outside space to let him go do whatever he needs to do. If he needs a quick wee, I have to take him out of the shared garden space onto the road or the lane. If I had a garden I'd walk him once or twice a day and let him in the garden the rest of the time.
He's also only 13 months old and not allowed walks of more than 20 minutes at a time, currently, because of his hips. When he's doing well with is walking, he can go up to 30 mins, but no more than that.
That's not a lot of exercise for a young bearded collie. They're an active, outdoor breed. So, I have to break his exercise down into multiple walks. that way he gets the same amount of walking in a daybut not all in one or two chunks leading to him fall back on his tired walk (which damages his hips) for the last third of each.
