That means (or will, if you supply the necessary connective)
`Max the dog likes walking'.  Walking includes moving inside
one's house, or getting to whatever locations one is used to
reaching on foot, but we don't normally think of those kinds
of walking as going for walks.

And we refer to walks (promenades) by words unrelated to the
word(s) used for walking (locomotion by legs).  Unless, that
is, we happen to be speaking English.

(This sounds like something that has been discussed here before.)
