Dog Exercise Needs Calculator
Daily walk and activity minutes by breed energy and age — the under-exercised-dog problem, quantified.
Under-exercise is behind a huge share of 'behaviour problems' — destructive chewing, barking and hyperactivity are often just unmet needs. High-drive breeds (collies, huskies) bought as pets are the classic mismatch. Mental exercise tires dogs as much as physical: a 20-minute sniff-walk or training session beats a frantic lap of the park. The puppy 5-min-per-month rule prevents joint damage from over-exercise.
