How Can I Improve my dog Fitness? Dogs should get between 30 minutes & 2 hours daily.
Description (Related:1)
A general rule of thumb is that dogs should get between 30 minutes and 2 hours of exercise every day. Larger breed dogs, like retrievers, collies, and shepherds will need the most exercise; while smaller and toy breed dogs, like terriers and Maltese, don't require as much daily physical activity.
Like humans, dogs need the mental stimulation that new sights and experiences bring. Repeating the same walking routine tends to get boring after a while, and as a dog walker, you probably feel the same way.
When thinking about the ideal day for your dog, the most important thing is to develop a routine you can stick to consistently. Keeping a regular daily schedule for feeding, walking, exercise, and playing will help dogs feel comfortable and less stressed.
