You will learn more about your puppy and the amount of exercise needed by spending more time with the pet. However, it is highly recommended that you talk to either a breeder or vet in order to found out how much daily activity is good for your puppy.\u00a0 Puppies usually have more energy compared to adult dogs hence they need more exercise in short bursts. It is also important to note that puppies are growing constantly, which is why it is ideal to engage your puppy in play sessions or to take your four-legged friend on several short walks throughout the day rather than opting to go for one really long walk because it can be strenuous on your dog\u2019s developing body. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-852\" src=\"http:\/\/lovelyn.us\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pexels-photo-533502.jpg\" alt=\"adult dog\" width=\"986\" height=\"750\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adult_Dog\"><\/span>Adult Dog<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">The breed of your dog is a big determinant of the level of physical activity it needs. High-energy breeds such as the Belgian Malinois and Border Collies need more exercise compared to lower-energy breeds such as the Basset Hound or Bulldog. You should always factor in your dog\u2019s breed when it comes to determining how much exercise your pet needs. Another thing that you should consider is your dog\u2019s health. If your adult dog has a medical condition including heart or respiratory issues or hip dysplasia, you should consult your vet about the most appropriate exercise routines that will help your four-legged companion to remain healthy without any discomfort. Be sure to inform your pet sitter of any special care that is needed as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-851\" src=\"http:\/\/lovelyn.us\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/dog-2818102_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Senior_Dog\"><\/span>Senior Dog<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Your senior dog may not be as active. However, regardless of age, exercise is still important. Exercise helps to keep dogs active and provides them with mental stimulation. You should observe your dog\u2019s behavior and consult with a vet about the exercise your dog requires. \u00a0If you spend adequate time with your dog you are better suited to judge how much exercise your senior dog may comfortably handle. The vet, on the other hand, can provide guidance and give you an informed opinion or advice on your dog\u2019s exercise needs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If have a busy schedule or you are finding it hard to keep up with your dog\u2019s daily exercise routine you should consider paying for the services of a professional pet sitting service.
