I have an older dog. She insists on being walked every day. In other words, I get no peace unless I do. Now for me, dog walks are the most boring things. She has an interest in all the natural world. It is all new to her each and every day. I get tired of the same old scenery. I tried entering into the spirit of the thing, since I was getting exercise too and enjoying the great outdoors. That worked for a little while.
