Answer
Trust me in time she will love the word walkies.
Its hard to be exact but exercise is so good for your dog for numerous reasons it helps stregnthen the heart and improves overall health.
Aim for at least 15 mins a day and maybe legnthen at weekends to half an hour and increase as much as you can wil your own time scale ie if you have more time go on a longer varied walk.
Its great for you both too as its when dogs bond most with their masters.
Kind wishes.
