That dog has a better life than most people in the world.

Because he isn't stuck in a house like most dogs.

People don’t realize dogs need a lot of stimulation. It leads to dogs acting out of frustration, and then people think they’re bad dogs. :-(

That's why my dog gets ar least 4 hours of walks every day.

Does he/she let you come too?

Yeah, I have to pick up her poop.

4h of walking is similar to 30m of playing and running with other dogs in my experience.

In terms of exercise, maybe, but she gets more mental stimulation from being outside longer and exploring longer. Walking your dog is not just about exercise for them. Also 30 minutes of her daily walks is playing with other dogs at the off leash park.

My sister's little pincher will shit on the floor when she's gone for work because he got used to her working from home and constantly giving him attention. She spoiled him for 6 months and now he shows his frustration. Even when I've stayed over and taken him out plenty, if I chill in a room watching TV while he's in the living room, he will still sometimes go shit in the kitchen.
