Questions & Answers about Siempre caminamos con los perros.

Where is the word for "we" in this sentence?
In Spanish, the ending of the verb tells you who is doing the action. The verb here comes from caminar (to walk). By dropping the -ar and adding -amos, we get caminamos, which specifically means "we walk". Because the ending makes it clear, you don't need to add the pronoun nosotros (we).
If I wanted to say "I walk with the dogs", how would I change caminamos?
To change who is doing the action for a regular -ar verb like caminar, you change the ending. For the "I" form, you take off the -ar and add -o, making it camino. So you would say: Siempre camino con los perros.
Does siempre have to go at the beginning of the sentence?
Not always, but it is very common! Adverbs of frequency like siempre (always) usually go right before the verb they describe. You could also say Caminamos siempre con los perros, but putting siempre at the beginning sounds very natural here.
Why is it los perros instead of las perros?
Perro is a masculine noun. Since we are talking about more than one dog, we use the plural form. Therefore, the word for "the" must also be the masculine plural, which is los. If you were specifically walking a group of female dogs, it would be las perras.
