How Do I Know My Dog Is Getting the Right Amount of Exercise, Care, and Attention?

Every dog has different needs — and those needs can change with age, breed, health, and even the season. Some thrive on long walks and playtime, while others prefer shorter outings and quiet companionship. So how can you tell if your dog is getting the right balance of exercise, care, and attention?

At Dogs On The Run, we believe every pet deserves care that matches their unique personality and lifestyle. Our Concierge Team connects families with trusted professionals who help design customized care plans that fit both your schedule and your dog’s individual needs.

Signs Your Dog May Need More Exercise or Attention

• Restlessness or pacing at home
• Excessive barking or chewing
• Weight gain or low stamina
• Attention-seeking behavior
• Difficulty settling or sleeping

Just like people, dogs need both physical and mental stimulation to stay balanced and happy. A consistent routine with walks, enrichment, and companionship helps prevent stress, anxiety, and unwanted behaviors.

What the Right Care Looks Like

The right care doesn’t look the same for every dog. For some, it means mid-day walks while you’re at work. For others, it might mean structured playtime, social interaction, or simply having someone there for comfort and consistency.

Dogs On The Run professionals are experts at recognizing what your pet needs, and adjusting care accordingly. From regular walks to in-home visits and overnight stays, each service is designed around your dog’s temperament, energy level, and comfort.

Professional Evaluation and Support

Our Concierge Team can help assess your dog’s needs and match you with the perfect professional. And if you’re unsure whether your dog’s behavior or energy level is normal, we can connect you with one of our experienced dog trainers for a professional evaluation and guidance.

It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing what’s right for your dog.
