QuestionMy daughter has had a chocolate labrador puppy since 8 weeks old. He is now 8 months. He is still chewing everything in sight and is wrecking her house and garden. She walks him for half an hour a day. Is this enough? I am wondering if he is getting bored and needs to expend more energy.
AnswerNo 1/2 hour a day is really not enough. He IS bored, you are right there. The dog will probably need about 1 hour in the AM and 1 hour in the PM of activity. The 1/2 hr walk can be combined with 1/2 hr of our play in the yard. And then do that 2x a day.
The dog should be crated when she is not at home and still under 100% supervision if it can't be trusted.
