minicar: I have a mini schnauzer, his name is Rocky. And I just wandered how many hours he needs to spend outside every day.About how many hours to mini schnauzers need to spend exercising outside?Well it is 5 minutes for each month of age with puppies, so a two-month-old puppy only gets a 10 minute walk. Too much walking and running is bad for legs and joints when a puppy is first little. Playing is important too, you have to teach them to play. Be careful not to overwhelm them with training. So a little training time, a little play time. Watch your puppy for signs that they are tired or having a puppy melt down.About how many hours to mini schnauzers need to spend exercising outside?Is he a puppy or an adult? Either way, it varies dog to dog. All dogs need a minimum of an hour off-leash play/running time. More for puppies, more for active breeds such as Schnauzers. He should be able to play until he's tired. A tired dog is a well-behaved dog! :)
