Walking Dogs

I couldn't find any reduced need to walk your dog, but there is playable-pets mods where you can play as your pet and see their needs.
I can't post images, but there are six 'needs' that an animal in TS4 has:
- Bladder
- Hunger
- Energy
- Play
- Affection
- Hygiene
Giving your dog a toy would boost up their play. They do not even need to be consistently walked, that is just one of your sims whims. Would setting one of your dog's traits as 'Couch Potato' help if this isn't what your looking for?

This Mod will fill your dog's needs for 6 hours after you walk them:

Or you can hire a dog walker (I have this one and it's so helpful!):
