How much exercise does my dog need?

Question

My dog, Molly, is a 9 month old black lab - chow chow mix. Right now I take her on 30 min walks everyday. Does she need more? She's really destructive if we're not gone (we keep her confined in the kitchen now, but she chews on the walls, tries to get stuff from the counter tops, etc.) However, she goes to sleep really fast and easily no matter what time of day it is as long as we're next to her.

Answer 1

no she doesnt need longer i have the same problem maybe yuou should build her a pen to run a round in a tear things up thats what i did shes still in her puppy stage she most likely will do that for a couple more years

Answer 2

If its just 1 30 minute walk every day and she is acting destructive, it most likely due to her trying to release her pent up energy; and it will only get worse as she gets older. Do you play with her at all? I mean games like fetch, swimming, wrestling with her; just walking her might not be enough and could easily bore her if you are just doing the same route day after day. Also, if you have any safe lakes nearby; she will probably love the water :)

Answer 3

first feed healthy food.

then increase the time of morning walking.

in evening time you can spend ur time with ur molly for playing.

you can use ball.

playing is also good exercise

Answer 4

Da uma corridinha no parque com ele e ta tudo certo!

See ya!

Answer 5

30 minute walks are good.Just go outside and play with her sometimes other than 30 minute walks.And the other behavior is just normal puppy behavior

Answer 6

dont take her for walks, take her offleash to the park for at least 1 hour a day. get her some freakin toys to chew on! and dont keep her in the kitchen because that causes stress and makes her MORE destructive! she really loves  you and yearns for attention. you dont seem to give her enough attention so you should give her away if you dont have the time. its best for her. she chews because she is teething! her teeth are growing in and it hurts so she chews.  

Answer 7

That type of dog is going to require alot of exercise.  I think 30 min everyday is good.  Make sure you play with her also. she is a hyper puppie right now.  she will calm down when he gets older.

Answer 8

Vá para umacademia, e leve seu cachorrinho para dar um corrida na esteira...

abraçoss

Answer 9

i've heard that dogs destroy things when they have extra energy

no energy= no destruction

try taking her to a dog safe park and running her out of energy- we have a little puppy and we do it in the side of our yard- works every time

try kennel training your dog- put her in when you leave. you won't have to worry about her destroying anything- it works well for us
