Common questions

Is a walk enough exercise?

For many dogs, no. Sniffing walks, fetch, tug, training and puzzle toys tire the mind as well as the body.

Can puppies go on long walks?

Keep forced exercise short until the bones finish growing, especially for large breeds; free play on soft ground is fine.

How do I know my dog needs more exercise?

Restlessness, chewing, digging, barking and pulling hard on the leash are common signs.
