Most Dogs Need Far More Exercise Than They Get to Be Happy & Health

About this video

In this short clip, Cesar Millan argues that most dogs need far more exercise than they get. A walk of 20 or 30 minutes is not enough, Millan says, leaving a dog indoors most of the day. He notes recommendations vary by breed, age and energy level, and says the owner’s daily job is to empty the tank, because a tired dog gives fewer problems.

Key takeaways

• Cesar Millan argues that a short daily walk is not enough exercise for most dogs.
• Millan says the owner’s daily job is to empty the dog’s energy, varying by breed, age and energy level.
