It's something I've been meaning to look into. Should I be getting her more exercise despite her size?
Thanks in advance. |
I don't think the size of your dog or any dog has anything to do with excerise. If he willing and ready, go for it~! Sometimes my Yorkie will go half a block where there is a field to do his biz at and then turns around and wants to go home. Other times, he adventure around the area and explore. Now if I take him to the park, it is the same thing. He's very smart and knows where I park the car and heads to it after a lap and/or if there isn't any more doggies around to meet.
Do any of your cities have dog parks~? I am not a member but take him there now and then. Today, he didn't want to leave there. He ran with the big doggies there....from German Shepards to St. Bernards and larger. He loved it
