How much exercise does a 13 month old Golden Rretriever need ?
At the moment I take her out twice a day. Each walk lasts a minimum of an hour, sometimes an hour and 15 minutes. I try to take her places where she can have exercise off the lead for part of the walk.
However , now that the nights are drawing in, her second walk of the day often takes place in darkness, in which case all of her walk will be on the lead in well lit areas.
A friend of mine has remarked recently that this amount of exercise is inadequate for the dog's needs and should be increased. She has suggested 3 hours of exercise per day as a minimum. Is this correct ? Any experts out there ?
