HIGH ENERGY - A dog that never seems to tire, needs a significant amount of physical exercise (running or walks of at least 3 miles 1 – 2 times per day) and mental stimulation, may play rough and may not crate well, could be destructive if left alone for long periods, Puppies fall into this category.
Option 2MEDIUM ENERGY - needs a daily 30 - 60 minute walk or playing fetch in the backyard and would benefit from more rigorous exercise (longer walks or short runs) a few times per week, would benefit from mental stimulation such as playing with a variety of toys, may have bursts of higher energy but can calm down within 15 minutes.
