🐾 Exercise Needs by Life Stage

Just like diet, your Doodle’s exercise routine should evolve with age. Let’s break it down by life stage:

🐕 Puppy Stage: Short, frequent play sessions are key. Puppies have bursts of energy but tire quickly. Activities like gentle tug-of-war, supervised zoomies, and socialization walks are ideal.
🐩 Adult Stage: Adult Doodles thrive with 60–90 minutes of daily activity. Include walks, off-leash time, agility games, and puzzle toys to keep both their bodies and minds engaged.
👵🐶 Senior Stage: Seniors benefit from low-impact movement. Think: leisurely walks, light fetch, or swimming to support joint health and prevent stiffness.

🧬 Tailoring Exercise by Doodle Type

Not all Doodles are built the same! Here’s how exercise needs vary by breed mix:

🐾 Goldendoodles: Energetic and social, they often need more interactive playtime.
🐾 Labradoodles: Athletic and smart, great candidates for agility or structured play.
🐾 Bernedoodles: Bigger and more laid-back, benefit from moderate, consistent movement.

📅 Structuring Your Doodle’s Routine

Creating a consistent schedule helps you and your Doodle stay on track. Consider these elements:

🗓️ Sample Exercise Routines: Offer daily/weekly plans tailored to each life stage.
🌦️ Indoor vs. Outdoor Activities: From hallway fetch to treat puzzles, there’s always a way to stay active. Rain or shine!
🚨 Signs of Over or Under-Exercising: Look out for excess chewing, pacing, or lethargy; all can be clues your Doodle needs more (or less) activity.
