The level of exercise your adult dog needs is largely influenced by breed. Things to consider are energy levels, size, physical limitations, mental stimulation, etc. Your dog needs anywhere from 30 minutes up to 2 hours of exercise every day\u00a0depending on their breed.<\/p>\n

Below is a bar chart of recommended minutes per day of exercise for 9 different dog groups.\u00a0You will find a listing of specific dog breeds in each group.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How Much Exercise Does a Dog Need Every Day Based on Breed<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

For detailed information on daily dog exercise needs check out my article on How Much Exercise Does a Dog Need Every Day<\/u><\/a>\u00a0or take a look at How Much Exercise Does a Puppy Need<\/u><\/a>\u00a0if you have a Puppy<\/p>\n

If you are uncertain of your dogs\u2019 breed, then see if you can find a match in the descriptions. Or go to the American Kennel Club <\/u><\/a>for a list of dog breeds\u00a0with photos for most breeds.<\/p>\n

Use the information as a guideline when it comes to exercising your dog. What is more important is to recognize when your dog is struggling and give him or her a break. Or even better, know your dog so well that you stop before your dog is overworked.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Energy Levels & Exercise Needs by Dog Group<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are extremely active dogs and low activity dogs. If you adopted, you should have a breed specified on your paperwork. Hopefully, the shelter or rescue got close to the\u00a0correct\u00a0breed(s).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Dog
Low Energy<\/strong>: brachycephalic, sighthounds, & giant breeds. Medium Energy<\/strong>: toy, terrier, & scent hound breeds. High Energy<\/strong>: working, sporting & herding breeds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dog Breeds with High Exercise Needs<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dog Breeds in the <\/b><\/strong>Sporting <\/b><\/strong>Group<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

These dogs were bred to flush game birds in forests and retrieve them from the water. So taking then for hikes through the woods or swimming would be fantastic for them.<\/p>\n

Because of their use by hunters, they are people-oriented and take well to training. This makes them some of the best family dogs because of how friendly they are.<\/p>\n

They are described as alert and active, as well as intelligent. I\u00a0would\u00a0add that they can be highly energetic and playful.<\/p>\n

Sporting dogs can handle long and brisk walks, which is a great way to burn off their energy. Also consider long hikes on forest trails, swimming. and playing fetch (especially for retrievers).<\/p>\n

On a personal note, I enjoy hiking, camping, and swimming. My next dog will be a retriever who can accompany me on all my outdoor activities. I love my Staffordshire Terrier but he hates the water\u00a0and he gets tuckered out rather easily.\u00a0He doesn\u2019t seem to enjoy camping.<\/p>\n

Examples<\/b><\/strong>: (pointers, retrievers, setters, and spaniels)<\/p>\n

Pointers<\/i><\/em>: German Shorthaired, German Wirehaired, Weimaraner, Pointer
\nRetrievers<\/i><\/em>: Golden, Labrador, Nova Scotia, Visla
\nSetters<\/i><\/em>: English, Gordon, Irish Red & White, Irish
\nSpaniels<\/i><\/em>: Boykin, Cocker, English, Irish Water, Sussex, Welsh<\/p>\n

Daily exercise<\/b><\/strong>: These dogs need 60-120 minutes of exercise per day.\u00a0Moderate\u00a0to high activity\u00a0is recommended for these dog breeds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Exercise<\/p>\n

Dog Breeds in the Working Group<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Energy levels for working dogs\u00a0are best described as long and steady. A lot of descriptions for these dogs mention pulling sleds and carts. I guess so\u00a0if you live on a farm or where there is a lot of snow throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Some other jobs for working dogs are as a guard dog and in water and alpine rescue situations. They are happy when you give them a job to do.<\/p>\n

If I had a working dog, I would have him drag me around on a sled after a snowstorm. I wouldn\u2019t have to dig out my car to go to the store.\u00a0A former client of mine has a retired dog sled husky. She would hook him up to a dog sled after it snowed and give the neighborhood kids a ride.<\/p>\n

So having them guard your front door or pull children in a sled or wagon is a good job. Though they are not the best dogs for families or first-time dog owners.<\/p>\n

Some can be on the big size and are hard to handle. Like sporting dogs, they take well to training which is good since you definitely need to train them They are fearless and can be overprotective of family members. That could be a problem when you have guests.<\/p>\n

If you take them hiking, give them a vest to carry some gear. It will lighten your load and they will enjoy doing the work.<\/p>\n

Examples<\/b><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Akita, Alaskan Malamute, Bernese Mountain dog, Boxer, Bullmastiff, Doberman & German Pinscher, Standard & Giant Schnauzer, Great Dane, Newfoundland, Portuguese Water dog, Rottweiler, Saint Bernard, Siberian Husky<\/p>\n

Daily exercise<\/b><\/strong>: These dogs need 60-120 minutes of exercise per day. Moderate activities like hiking\u00a0would be a good choice. Avoid running\u00a0and high-intensity exercise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dog Breeds in the Herding Group<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Herding dogs were bred to move livestock which can be seen in the names sheepdogs and shepherds (\u201csheep\u201d + \u201cherd\u201d). They herd animals by running around them, barking, nipping their heels, or my favorite, using strong eye contact.<\/p>\n

But in a non-farm environment, they will tend to herd people, especially children. If you see them circling children, you need to intervene to make sure they don\u2019t nip their heels (seriously).<\/p>\n

They enjoy mentally and physically demanding exercise and play, as they are very intelligent dogs with high energy levels. Physical and <\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/span>mental stimulation is required for herding breeds. Like working dogs, they are happy when they have \u201cwork\u201d to do.<\/p>\n

Training is easy with this group of dogs. Once trained, they obey orders easily. They are very good with other dogs and with people they know,\u00a0but they tend to be suspicious of strangers.<\/p>\n

German Shepherds\u00a0are notably versatile. They are used as an assistance dog for people with disabilities, and for work with the police, in rescue and drug or explosives detection. Quite a resume!<\/p>\n

Examples<\/b><\/strong>: (sheepdogs, collies, and shepherds)<\/p>\n

Sheepdogs<\/i><\/em>: Belgium, Old English, Shetland, Welsh Corgi
\nCollies<\/i><\/em>: Border, Bearded, Shetland, Rough Collie
\nShepherds<\/i><\/em>: Australian, German, Belgian<\/p>\n

Daily exercise<\/b><\/strong>: These dogs need 60-120 minutes per day with at least 60-90-minutes of vigorous exercise. Try using a Chuckit ball launcher or a Frisbee to give them intense exercise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dog Breeds in the Terrier Group<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Terriers were bred to chase or dig out game such as rats, stoats, foxes, and even birds. They are very tenacious and want to attack, bite or even kill that which they hunt. I had a Jack Russell bite me on my hand and my cheek. Thankfully, not seriously.<\/p>\n

They remind me of Honey Badgers – small animals not afraid to attack lions. Terriers will attack bigger dogs or really anything that they want to attack. It\u2019s not advisable to adopt a terrier if you already have a dog, have cats or small children.<\/p>\n

Also, don\u2019t adopt a terrier is you have a garden that you love. They love to dig. Unless you have vermin eating your vegetables then let them loose and you won’t have vermin for long.<\/p>\n

But not every breed is that feisty. I have a Staffordshire Terrier (small pit bull) who is afraid of my cats. He wouldn\u2019t attack anything. Westies and Yorkies are totally fine. As I mentioned, Jack Russell\u2019s can be aggressive as can Schnauzers.<\/p>\n

But let’s assume you already have a terrier and can handle him or her. Exercise for these dogs would involve chasing a ball, especially a squeaky ball.<\/p>\n

Terriers are difficult to train because of how feisty they are. They have a mind of their own and a strong will.<\/p>\n

Examples<\/b><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Airedale\u00a0terrier, American Staffordshire, Australian, Border, Bull, Beddington, Cesky, Cairn, Dandle Dinmont, Irish, Jack Russell, Lakeland, Manchester, Norfolk,\u00a0Scottish,\u00a0Westie, Welsh, Yorkshire<\/p>\n

Daily exercise<\/b><\/strong>: These dogs need 60-90 minutes with 30\u00a0minutes or so of moderate to intense play.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Scent<\/p>\n

Dog Breeds in the (Scent) Hound Group<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

All hounds were bred to locate and chase game animals. As a result, keep them on a leash or in an enclosed area or they will take off.<\/p>\n

Scent hounds are sturdy & tough, being able to follow a scent for miles. They do not move as fast as their sighthound cousins, but they won\u2019t stop following a scent. This makes them great for hunting and as search dogs.<\/p>\n

By the way, those long floppy ears are what helps guide scents to their noses. Hiding treats would be a great exercise for these dogs.<\/p>\n

Some hounds make a unique sound known as baying. Baying is a combination of barking and howling. If you can\u2019t imagine the sound of baying, just think of any movie or TV show where dogs are being used to find someone.<\/p>\n

They make excellent pets and are great with children.<\/p>\n

Examples<\/b><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Beagle, Bloodhound,\u00a0Basset, Coonhounds, Elkhounds, Fox, American Foxhound, Austrian Black & Tan, Beagle-Harrier, Hungarian, Serbian.<\/p>\n

Daily exercise<\/b><\/strong>: These dogs need 60-90 minutes\u00a0of exercise per day, moderate to intense activity. Long hikes would be no problem for these dogs. The exception to that would be the Basset Hound which has more moderate exercise needs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These Dog Breeds Have Medium to Low Exercise Needs<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

You will see breeds repeated in this section. There are breeds in the brachycephalic, toy and large dog groups that are members of the other dog groups.<\/p>\n

Also, given the low amount of recommended activity for these dogs, make sure to watch their weight. Don\u2019t overfeed them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brachycephalic Dog Breeds<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Exercise<\/p>\n

Brachycephalic, or short-nosed & flat-faced dogs, were bred to have shorter snouts either for fighting reasons or because it made them appear more human. The shorter snouts may result in stronger jaws, and do look really cute.<\/p>\n

They have a hard time breathing and can easily overheat, collapse and suffer heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Actually, these dogs have a number of health issues. For more information, take a look at a great article called Brachycephalic Health <\/u><\/a>on the UK Kennel Club website.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t let their health issues prevent you from adopting one of these dogs. I\u2019ve walked almost every one of the specific breeds mentioned below and they are fantastic dogs. My personal favorites are King Charles Cavalier\u00a0and\u00a0Shih Tzu.<\/p>\n

Exercise for these dogs should be moderate and in short amounts. Also, avoid exercise in hot weather. Even though they have health concerns, they still need to get exercise since they are prone to obesity. Either take longer walks in the morning or try indoor exercise when it is hot outside.<\/p>\n

Examples<\/b><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

American\u00a0Bulldog, Boston Terrier, Boxer, Brussels Griffon.\u00a0Bull Mastiff, English & French bulldogs, King Charles Cavalier, Lhasa Apso, Pugs,\u00a0Shih Tzu<\/p>\n

Daily exercise<\/b><\/strong>: These dogs need 20-30 minutes of exercise per day. Take it easy on these guys and gals. Simple short walks are ideal with maybe some brief indoor play when the weather is bad. Also, use a harness rather than a collar which could further restrict their breathing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dog Breeds in the Toy (or\u00a0Small\u00a0Dog)\u00a0Group<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

If Brachycephalic dogs were bred because they looked like babies, then these dogs were bred to be super cute lap dogs.<\/p>\n

The majority of toy breeds are great for training, though some can be more difficult to train. You may need to train them to stop their barking and nipping.<\/p>\n

They are great if you live in a small apartment or if you are a first-time dog owner, though you may need to train them to not bark so much. You will hear it from your neighbors if they are constantly yapping.<\/p>\n

Given their size, they are fearful and,\u00a0as a result, will want to constantly be by your side. They love the constant attention. Even though they can be prone to injury, these little dogs can also be quite tough for their size.<\/p>\n

You\u2019d be surprised how fast and far they can walk. And if they get tired, you can simply pick them up and carry them home.<\/p>\n

Examples<\/b><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Bichon Frise, Brussels Griffon, Chihuahua, Italian Greyhound, King Charles Cavalier, Lhasa Apso, Maltese, Miniature Pinscher, Pekinese, Pomeranian,\u00a0Toy Fox Terrier, Shih Tzu, Silky Terrier, Yorkie<\/p>\n

Daily exercise<\/b><\/strong>: These dogs need 30-60 minutes\u00a0per day of moderate exercise. Because of their size, they can be exercised inside a house or apartment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Exercise<\/p>\n

Dog Breeds in the (Sight) Hound Group<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sighthounds were bred to hunt game animals by sight and then to chase them down. Some common physical traits are sleek bodies and long legs (stream-lined for speed).<\/p>\n

They do not need as much exercise as\u00a0scent hounds.\u00a0Although they are the fastest dogs out there, they only need moderate exercise.<\/p>\n

Many breeds are excellent with children, though sighthounds may not be able to control their desire to chase\u00a0the little ones (training).<\/p>\n

Examples<\/b><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Afghan\u00a0Hound, Basenji,\u00a0Borzoi, Greyhound, Italian Greyhound, Irish Wolfhound,\u00a0Saluki, Scottish Deerhound, Whippet<\/p>\n

Daily exercise<\/b><\/strong>: These dogs need 30-45 minutes\u00a0per day of moderate exercise with an occasional short burst of running. Make sure to run them in an enclosed area.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Giant
Try dancing with your large breed dogs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Giant Dog Breeds<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

These large breeds tend to weigh anywhere from 60\u00a0to 120 pounds. Unlike toy dogs, they need a lot of space to move around.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s common for them to have joint and hip issues as they age, so be prepared for the added vet expense and concern for their well-being.<\/p>\n

They are also prone to a condition known as bloat. I\u2019m not a vet or personally familiar with the condition, so I\u2019ll leave it to you to research that further.<\/p>\n

The great thing about large breeds is that they look quite intimidating. As a result, their presence alone can scare away shady characters on the street or intruders into your home. It\u2019s actually quite funny how intimidating they seem when they are actually gentle\u00a0giants.<\/p>\n

Many of them are good swimmers. Swimming is, therefore, a great exercise being that the weight on their joints is reduced in the water.\u00a0Make sure to research your specific breed to see if they are good swimmers or not.<\/p>\n

Examples<\/b><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Alaskan Malamute, Bullmastiff, Cane Corso, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Great Dane, Great Pyrenees, Leonberger, Newfoundland, Old English Sheepdog, Saint Bernard<\/p>\n

Daily exercise<\/b><\/strong>: These dogs need 30-45 minutes\u00a0per day of moderate exercise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When in doubt\u00a0about\u00a0how much exercise your dog needs, just\u00a0take it easy on them. If you are new to owning a dog, or just adopted a dog, take some time to get to know him or her. In time you will know your dogs’ exercise needs even if you are unsure of their breed.<\/p>\n
