Why Exercise Needs Vary by Breed

A Border Collie and a Bulldog have vastly different energy levels — and treating them the same leads to either an under-exercised, destructive dog or an over-exercised, injured one. Breed, age, and living environment all play a role in how much activity your dog needs each day.

Physical exercise alone isn’t enough. Mental stimulation — puzzle feeders, scent games, training sessions — is just as important for preventing boredom and behavioral issues. High-intelligence breeds especially need their brains worked as much as their bodies.

The PupStart app generates a daily activity schedule tailored to your specific dog, with reminders and tracking so you never miss a session.
