What is your dog like after a walk-very tired??

Answers:
It all depends on the dog's age, health, breed and the length of the walk. When I take my dogs on a long hike, they come home, drink water and pass out.

If your dog is exhausted after a short walk around the block, you may want to see your vet.

Usually resting or sleeping. If it's been hot, panting a bit and needing a drink.

---

That is the point.
He's only tired until something new excites him though. Being half lab means that that takes about half a second.

My collie cross is NEVER tired !

---

Daisy naps for a full day, she is a lazy dog.

---

still in the same position as before i went out for my walk. I wish I could help more with your question but it does seem as pointless as a yorkshire terrier.

---

Haha I wish.I go for really long walks several times a day. She has bursts of energy after every walk.haha she never stops!!! She's a jack russell.which explains why!!

---

Because of the bulk of them, my Newfs are always very tired. My spaniels however could have kept going for much longer, so basically it depends on the size of the animal. Don't worry about them though because they all react to exercise differently.

---

Very tired... but even more happy.

when you take your dog for a walk, take a small portable bowl or something similar and a bottle of water for your dog. Make sure you don't over work your dog either, it really depends on what kind of dog you have. If your dog starts lagging some during a walk then take a break and let he/her rest.

---

depends on size of dog an how often you take him ( her ) for walks ,and how far you go,a lot of people seem to think dogs don,t get really tired, but they really do, cause they,re on guard duty most of the time.

when I take my dog walking we go about three miles, when we get back she's so giddy it's stupid them about half hour later she drops like a stone and doesn't move for about three hours then shes ready to go again! She's a doberman cross a year old.

If your dog is 'exhausted' after a walk of only one mile, and he's a 'large, strong' dog, then something is 'terribly wrong' with him even though he's 'overweight' ... and I think that you should take him to the Vet for a 'check-up' at which you tell the vet about how 'tired' he is after 'walking a mile' ... otherwise, cut the walks back to about half a mile and 'take them up slowly' ONE BLOCK AT A TIME. Also, if your dog is 'overweight' you need to give him a good 'weight loss dog food' and not give him 'treats' until he's 'slimmer' and has more 'energy' ... but if he's an OLD dog (you'll need to check because different breeds get old at different ages) then you just need to 'cut back' a bit and help him 'trim down' with good food and take two or three 'walks' a day ...

---

Yes my old dog is very tired after a walk but she is over 12 now so shes bound to be, but she does well and has a long walk with me at lunch time that lasts about an hour and a nice run in the park of an evening so shes not doing bad for her age.

---

Try increasing the distance very day and walk your dog every day so it gets use to it but don't force it to go any further than what it wants to. Let it smell around and rest if it wants to. Sooner or later it would want to go even further in about a month.

Good Luck!

hi there both my dogs are tired and thirsty after a walk we take them round our local park which is about an hours walk but my female always feels she has to rush when were out but thats just her if he/she is not in any pain and enjoying his walk take it slowly increase the length of walk dont excite him or her too much on your walk as he/she will tire easily rest frequently take plenty of water if you are still worried have a chat with your vet or have he/she a health check hope this helps

---

My dog used to be ready for another one, he'd just walk and walk. He's 14 now though, and he can't be bothered to go for a walk at all coz that means he has to get out of his bed.

---

He is tired and thirsty but that depends on the weather. We have very cold winters and cool springs and falls. Usually when the weather is cooler he has tons of energy and has enough to go on 10 walks. With our warmer weather coming he does not tolerate it well. So he is dragging by the time we come in from a short walk. It takes time for them to adjust to temperature and distance.

you did not mention the breed?
A pup will get tired after a walk an old dog will get tired but a dog around 2+ should not get tired your dog needs to diet. if the dog is over weight it is putting a lot of pressure on it so it can walk far, the same as a person over weight there tired were someone thin would not be as tired. If you take to your vets they offer a free weighing so they will tell you what it should be how much it should loose etc when the dog starts to loose weight then start to walk it further.
I walk mine for 2 hours on each walk GSD %26 a Dobe but I have to walk my other Eurasier separate or they end up annoying each other (tries to be top dog, it hasn't got a hope in hell lol) I also take that out for 2 hours so by the time I get back i'm the one thats tired lol
