Being quiet after a long walk for several hours is normal. Being out of it the next day is not right unless this is new to pup. |

If my boys have had a really big day, they are more relaxed the next morning and not chomping at the bit to get outside again. However, they are not lethargic.
4 miles is fine, great. We have a short-legged Yorkie in our hilly neighborhood who
runs at least 4 miles with her daddy. She is an energizer bunny.
