Two people debate whether daily dog walks are overrated. One argues many owners don't walk enough; the other says daily walks can overstimulate dogs and cause more arousal than fatigue. A 20-minute indoor tug-of-war session might work better.

Oh shit! Oh shit!
Walking your dog every single day no matter what.
I'm gonna say that one and only—
oh, I was just overrated, but then I just remember— I'm putting underrated because I'm gonna stick with this, but I think I know what you're gonna say and I'm gonna agree because, um, people are lazy.
You don't walk your dogs enough. I'm sorry.
The only reason why I said overrated Because also, because sometimes dogs are dealing with stuff in life and they do need time to decompress.
Like, walk isn't always the be-all and end-all. Like, I could do tug of war with her in the house for 20 minutes and she'd be really satisfied.
Yeah, the, the key to looking at walks correctly is not calling them walks and calling them enrichment. You go out there to enrich the dog's life. Sometimes going outside is going to arouse the dog so much that it doesn't matter if it has tired them out, it's aroused them twice as much as it's tired them out. So it's gonna do more harm than good.
Overrated, underrated, leaving your car window open during a rainstorm. Wait, what?
Oh yes, I have done that too. Oh well. Oh shit! Oh shit! I was like, I didn't fucking write that, bro! Oh god!
