How much exercise should a puppy get?

Answer by  33toner (73)

Usually it depends on what type of dog you own, but all puppies should be walked at least once a day. Playing with the puppy gives it good exercise too.

Depending on the breed anywhere from twenty minutes to up to four hours a day. Generally watching the puppies behavior is the best bet. If he seems over tired slow it down. If he seems to by hyper increase his excercise.

Puppies should get a lot of exercise! My black lab/boxer mix is 18 months now but we still make sure he get's a lot of exercise. I learned the more exercise they get during the day.. the more tired they are at night You can take daily walks for exercise or even playing catching is good.

Your new puppy will require lots of exercise. But you won't have to do much to ensure that happens. Puppys instinctivly play and exercise all on thier own. What you will need to worry about is that your new puppy receives proper nutrition and a balanced diet. Check with your veterinarian to choose the proper food.

Puppies tend to need an almost endless supply of exercise. You should let her run for at least one or two hours every day, depending on the breed of dog. The more exercise it gets the happier and healthier. If you feel you can't give sufficient time, put a lightly weighted backpack on it everytime while in the yard.

A puppy requires a ton of exercise if they are not sleeping or eating they should be running and playing or out walking on a leash they require almost constant motion.
