Physical activity is good and mental stimulation is just as important. Try food puzzles, obedience training, or hide-and-seek games to keep their brain engaged. A mentally tired dog is a happy dog.

My Labrador started chewing furniture and pacing at night. I thought he was just acting out, but after increasing our walks from 30 minutes to an hour, he completely calmed down. Exercise was the solution!

Different breeds have different exercise needs. High-energy dogs like Border Collies and Huskies need at least two hours of exercise daily, while smaller or older dogs might be fine with a few short walks.
