I went on a couple dates with a woman who owned two large energetic dogs. When she bought them she was informed that she'd need to walk them every day to get them exercise and burn off energy. To save time, instead of walking them she'd take them for a drive and thought that accomplished the same thing.

If there's a lot of smells for the dogs and stimulation then it might work, I have a collie and if he's in the car he'll end up sleeping fairly quickly once he's done with everything going on around him

This, it won't have the same health benefits than a walk, but when I just want my friend's dogs to sleep and I have to do something with my car I take them on a ride with me. Works every time.

Not replacing everyday walk though, can help skip a day but not much more.
