>You have to walk them every day I never saw this growing up. Dog walking was something people did maby on a weekend if they were “good owners” where I was at (west Michigan). Generally there was a decent sized yard with a fence though. Keeping a dog on a chain society marked you as lower class trash (as it should). For me personally in the past 10 years there’s been a large and noticeable change in how often people walk dogs both where I currently live (PNW) and when I return to Michigan to visit family. Even my aging parents are in the habit of dog walking now. Though that’s in big part because they have more free time, no kids in the house, and need something to do.
