To tire out your energetic dog provide them with mental and physical stimulation. Throw frisbees at it, let it jump for balls, hide some treats around the house, or go on a hike together with it just to mention but a few examples of jobs that you can give your pet.
How much exercise does a puppy need?
In general terms take the puppies age in months times five to determine how many minutes of exercise they should get daily repeated 2-3 times per day. For example, a four-month-old puppy should receive about twenty minutes’ worth of exercise every day. However, don’t over-exercise them because this could cause problems such as arthritis early on in their lives.
