Map My Walk- Difference between Dog Walk and Walk?

PurpleSnack

Can anyone tell me what the difference between these is? Constantly have it set at dog walk but my dog is off leash and I wonder if this affects anything.

Put in the same time for each exercise and see what is the difference in calorie burn for the same amount of time. I imagine it's negligible. Walking has entries for different speeds doesn't it? Remember, all calorie burn numbers are estimates.

I have walkmeter app.... it tells you how far you have walked, how fast you have walked and how many calories you have burned.... it also has a lot more like elevation etc but I just need the 3 things mentioned above. Oh, it also syncs with MFP so adds the calories automatically for you to your exercise

I think it's just the speed. Dog walk is 2.5 mph and walking is 2 mph

I've used a HRM for both walking and dog walking. Dog walking (on a leash) burns way more calories for me because I have a stubborn strong dog that likes to pull every which way. I would just use "walk" if your dog is off leash. (And yes...I know I need to train my dog better...)
