What you don't want to do is *forced* exercise, especially on pavement. You can still let them run around in a yard or play fetch though.

Does this just apply to jogging and running? I take my dog for walks of varying paces (from slow and steady to brisk) anywhere from 4 to 6 miles per day. Harley is 9 months old and we both look forward to that time together.

He behaves so much better after a walk. When we fool around in the yard, it seems like the equivalent of letting my son run wild in a place like Cheese E. Cheese. Sure, he's burning energy, but it seems to be the kind of hyperactive energy that feed into itself...
