Our 3 year old female german shepherd is a true land shark. In the last year she gained quite a bit of weight and is now 104 lbs, and she should be about 90. Our vet recommended decreasing her food by 25% so we have done that, but we want to walk her more. Unfortunately our older male shepherd typically limits how long our daily walk is to half mile. I'd like to get to the point where we walk three miles everyday without the old boy. Can I just start walking 3 miles a day out the gate or should I start her at 1.5 miles every other day and work our way up? She's a healthy beast of a dog but she just got away eating table scraps and her bro's food long enough to expand her and waistline.
