On average, most dogs need at least 20 minutes of robust exercise a day. For puppies, it's better to break that up into two or three increments of 10 minutes or more a day. Senior dogs generally need the same amount of exercise, but it can be broken up into two sessions of 10 minutes each. Keep an eye on their signs and any pain or arthritis. However, as a rule, 20 minutes per day is a good estimate for most dogs.

There are many ways to exercise your dog. Simple activities like going out in the backyard and throwing the ball can be beneficial. If possible, try to take them on a 20-minute walk, run or hike. You can also use food puzzles or hide treats around the yard as these can be great ways to encourage them to exercise.
