Well, usually you don’t “swim” a dog. You swim yourself. Same thing with “run a dog”. Those are activities you do yourself. You can say you took your dog swimming or you took your dog out for a run, but you typically don’t “run” or “swim” a dog. The phrase run/swim/walk up also isn’t grammatically correct because you’re trying to say “walk it up to the extent of.” Placing the “up” word in front changes the meaning.

In sentence 3, what is "up" connected to? "up to" or 'walk his dog up"? (up is modifying "walk", in the latter case)

The up is to say they’re walking their dog “up to the extent of.” It’s describing the extent of exercise the dog is receiving.

I don’t think so. I think it’s supposed to be modifying the extent. Sorry if I can’t explain really well, I’m still a student .😅
