As the days get shorter and the temperatures get colder, walks with your dog may require a little more motivation. Luckily, Woofz, the dog-training app, just released a set of paw-fectly tuned Spotify playlists for every kind of walker this fall! You’ll find mellow tracks to match your Golden Retriever’s easygoing pace, to upbeat bangers for those brisk evening trots with your energetic Border Collie.
Each playlist is built around breed energy levels and walk tempo, helping owners sync steps (and spirits) with their dogs. Nothing says cozy season like matching your pup’s mood to the perfect soundtrack!
Shannon Kenny, CPDT-KA and professional dog trainer at Woofz, says keeping up with regular, active walks is especially important during colder months.
“When the temperature drops, many owners naturally end up cutting walks short. However, dogs still need that daily outlet for energy and mental stimulation, regardless of how “pleasant” the weather is. A good walk isn’t only about exercise – it’s a chance to explore, relax, and recharge. Matching the tempo to your dog’s breed helps them release energy in a healthy way and prevents behavior problems from creeping in as the days get darker.”

Woofz’ Spotify Playlists: Perfect for Walking Your Dog
Woofz shared more about the playlists on their website, including why they created them. “Every breed offers its own mix of energy and instincts that dictate how much exercise they really need to stay fit and healthy, differing so much that it’s hard to believe they’re all the same species.
Push them beyond their limits and you risk joint damage, muscle strains, and even arthritis. Hold them back, and you’re asking for obesity, anxiety, and a chewed-up couch.”
What’s so cool about these five Spotify playlists is that each is tailored to different breeds’ energy levels and recommended walk times. Got a low-energy dog? Maybe a senior dog or an English bulldog? Or maybe you’re just looking to cruise instead of speed walking. There’s a 20-minute playlist full of soothing jazz, soft classical, lo-fi beats, and gentle acoustic sounds for a calm and relaxing stroll.
If you have a high-energy dog that would walk all day if you’d let them? Check out this 2-hour-long playlist full of amped-up anthems with rhythmic classic rock, deep house, and instrumental hits that will also help you keep up with their pace.
Whether you have a small, medium, or large breed or a dog with boundless energy or no energy at all, there’s something for everybody!
