A lack of endurance can definitely be a sign your dog is not getting enough exercise. When you're walking your dog, do they sit down a lot? Maybe you have noticed your dog is lagging behind you on walks and seems really tired out. If either of these observations sounds familiar, you may not be exercising your dog frequently enough. Think about adjusting your dog's exercise routine to build up their endurance. You may want to take your dog out for shorter walks several times a week. Small bursts of exercise can help build endurance, so your dog won't get so tired when you go out for longer periods. Before you go out walking, consider the weather so you can be sure your dog is safe. Taking your dog out for walks in hot, humid weather can be harmful to their health. In fact, some dogs such as bulldogs are more likely to overheat than others.
