The exact same options YOU have if YOU want to go for a walk. You can walk barefoot on the grass or in a park, or you can put on some shoes/sandals.

You don't know my dog. He gets a walk in the morning, a walk in the evening and during the mid-day, he's bored. He puts on this big show that he's simply going to die if I don't take him for a walk right now.
He just wants to go out and pee on stuff and be nosey and most of the time he doesn't even pee. He never "walks" like most dogs anyway. He just moseys down the way sniffing everything. If I let him, it'd take 20 minutes to go 100 yards. Ever see a dog sniff every leaf of a weed? Mine does it.
In the past, when I used to make him walk half a mile or more back north, we'd get to a spot and he'd just sit down. He's done. Seriously, I ended up carrying him back enough times that he taught me how far he's willing to walk and it's not far. This was as a PUPPY. He's a sniffer, not a walker. I guess if my legs were 6 inches long I might be the same way.
