Small dogs who need a lot of exercise

The amount of exercise your dog requires depends on your dog's breed, age and her individual needs. High energy dogs require more exercise than mellow "couch potato" dogs but all dogs should participate in a regular routine of activities, training and games with their owners.

High energy dogs will inevitably get into trouble if their physical and mental exercise needs are not being met. They become bored and they expend their pent-up energy in creative ways like chewing holes in your best shoes or digging escape routes under the fence in the backyard.

Avatar_thumbnailThough it's true that Boston Terriers can have a high energy level (they're actually pretty balanced and love sleeping in your lap just as much!) they are very good at entertaining themselves unlike some of the other breeds on this list! They love toys, will do the BT 500 (run fast being chased by an invisible force, much like a cat) for short periods with great dexterity, and enjoy a game of tug of war. Please don't let their appearace on this list deter you from adding one to your family. They were also recently listed as one of the top breeds for seniors and apartment dwellers!” — bostonsandbo..., Aug 19 2009
