Exercise needs vary depending on the breed, age and individual traits of the dog. But it’s a good idea to play catch, Frisbee or other games, and take your dog for 30-minute walks each day.  Sufficient exercise helps reduce or eliminate common behaviors such as digging, excessive barking, chewing and hyperactivity.  Dogs need physical and mental stimulation each day.  Exercise helps prevent boredom and channels the dog’s energy in a productive, acceptable direction.  Exercise helps keep pets healthy, agile and limber.
It reduces the incidence of digestive problems and constipation.  It helps prevent depression.  It’s a good way to help a timid or fearful dog build confidence and trust.  Exercise promotes healthy rest. A well-exercised dog will be sleepy instead of restless when it’s time to relax or go to bed.  Exercise is key to weight control.
