More walking is not always the answer. Many dogs get fitter with distance and no calmer, because the missing ingredient is sniffing, problem-solving and training rather than miles. A good routine balances physical exercise with mental work and enough rest.
This planner suggests a general daily pattern from your dog’s breed, age, energy and the time you realistically have. Treat it as a starting point to adjust to the individual dog, and involve your vet before changing exercise for a puppy, an older dog or any dog with a health condition.
