It is crucial that your dog get from one hour to one and a half hours of solid vigorous exercise everyday. Your dog should go out on a leash at least once a week as well to not only exercise but also have plenty of opportunities to socialize.

Socialization is a skill forgotten if not practiced regularly. Running or jogging is another wonderful way for not only your dog to get his needed exercise but for you to benefit as well.

If your dog is reliable and has learned to "Heel" it may be possible to run with him without the leash. However if you have any doubts or if your dog has a tendency to chase things or get into mischief you should always keep him on the leash.

Physical exercise

The plusses of physical exercise are obvious (maintaining a healthy weight, for instance), but the less tangible rewards can be just as gratifying. You'll find that some of your most memorable moments with your dog happen when you're tossing her the ball at the park or hiking that trail in the mountains. Staying active together helps cement the human-canine bond.

Don't forget to take your well-socialized dog to the dog park or arrange for doggie play dates. Chasing and wrestling with other dogs can provide a vigorous workout, as well as fulfill her desire to hang out with members of her own species.

Agility training is another great way to stay active and bond. You don't have to take it to the competition level-- many owners train simply for fun. Agility's a mental workout as well as a physical one, as your dog learns how to negotiate the various tunnels, seesaws, and hurdles of an intricate obstacle course. Plus, it's a thrill to watch your dog literally jump through hoops for you.
