Now that we live in a complex and have no yard so to speak of we take our poodle "Asjas" on twice daily walks.He knows when its time for his walk and stands in front of us wimpering."Come hell or high water!" he accepts no excuse.We have to walk and in the rain we have to keep him covered with a large umbrella . No excuse such us being tired or that its raining.We usually return drenched.Walking keeps him in good condition and his nails short .He is very lively for a fourteen year old.He is of the small variety and we don't cut his hair in winter.
