How
much exercise?
The amount of exercise of your dog requires each day
will change over the years, but consider his age and
also consider yours dog breed.
Working breeds such as Border Collies and Retrievers
need more exercise than small toy breeds such as Yorkshire
Terriers or Shih Tzus, which may be content with a
walk around the block and a game of fetch in the garden.
And you can take advice form dog vet about exercise.
Puppies are still developing and their pads are very
soft, so aim to spend at least half your exercise
time off hard ground. Avoid a game that puts pressure
on his joints such as trapping a toy in the air. That
game put pressure on his jaws and feet’s. Don't
allow him to mix with other dogs up to the time when
his vaccinations are complete.
Senior dogs may slow down and tire easily, but they
will excite when the owner dose play game like retrieving
a ball, but actually owner take risk of injury to
the dog at that time. As your dog ages, be prepared
to make games shorter and a little less boisterous.
An older dog may become reluctant to go for a walking,
especially in winter, but wrap him up warmly and persevere,
as gentle exercise will help retain fitness.
