EXERCISING YOUR PUPPY

The amount of exercise required by a puppy should be best left to the puppy. There shouldn’t be any forced exercise plans, including the daily walks. For puppies, walks should be limited to a mere toilet break. Training sessions which last only 5-10 minutes are fine. Puppies should be kept fairly slim through their diet, especially dogs with rapid growth (Dogs like Great Danes, Mastiffs etc). Reasonably sized balconies, terraces, and backyards are great for larger breed dogs.
