My little guy is 2 years old. Right now we are pretty regularly getting a 1 hour/3 mile walk daily. I can definitely tell if I miss a few days, since he starts being a brat and being super bossy to the other household dogs. :P
I am wondering if I should step up the length or frequency of our walks. I want him happy and tired, but not overtaxed! What kind of walking schedule makes your dogs the happiest?

1.5 mi, 30-45min mornings. Longer or similar walk evenings, or shorter walk with lots of fast soccer ball play at the playfield.
Don't worry about overtaxing as long as he's used to it. If you're only used to running 1 mi., you'll be overtaxed if you run 10. Build gradually, take it easy after slumps.
Can't outwalk a corgi. Try it. It's good for you.
8.5 y.o. Gwynnie, 20 lbs., much slower than Al the Animal, did 9 mi. RT with 4000' up and back down last Sunday. Not a challenge.
Just short of 2 miles; it used to be about three times a week, but since I'm between jobs right now, we've been doing it every day. It's a very hilly course, we go uphill first and on the way home it's a nice downhill.
It takes us 35 - 40 minutes. He takes lots of time to sniff though :)
