In January, the older dogs are several times a day, and by the age of February, the average is about 3 times a day.

Appropriate play and exercise can be done indoors or in the courtyard. When the sun is not too strong and the outdoor temperature is not too high, the puppies bask in the sun and sunbathe, which is conducive to bone growth.

Precautions

The dog should not be out for too long. Generally, 4-month-old dogs should not be on the road often. Take a walk to prevent the limbs from deforming.
