Italian Greyhound Exercise Needs

Italian Greyhounds are active little dogs who need a good, daily walk. In addition, they love to run free and play. Be sure to make them heel on the lead. Dogs not only have an instinct to migrate daily, but to have a leader leading the way. Humans should enter and exit all door and gateways before the dog. In order for your dog to fully respect your authority you need to be their leader rather than the other way around.

Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds

When most people think about canines, they think of happy, jumping bundles of fur. There are several breeds of dogs out there, and many of them do require a great amount of physical exercise.

They need a big backyard to run about in all day so that they can expend all that pent-up energy. Though, there are other breeds that are on the reverse end of the spectrum. If you do not have enough time or energy to play with your pooch for many hours a day, then there are specific breeds best for your way of living.

Here are several dog breeds that prefer napping over running.

1. Chow Chow - They tend to be relatively aloof, but their independent nature means it will not mind when you commit for work in the morning. They can get over 70 pounds in weight, but they make wonderful snuggle partners.

2. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Bred mainly as a lapdog and friend, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel excels at its original job. The breed is delicate, loving and would much rather be inside next to you than doing any sort of vigorous activity.

3. Basset Hound - They are very lazy dogs that are delicate and caring towards their families. Although they require small exercise, potential owners should be prepared for a lot of drool.

4. Shih Tzu - Shih Tzus usually tend to not be particularly fond of going outside. Many times, they will get plenty of exercise simply walking the apartment all day.

5. Boston Terrier - Their weight normally maxes out at 25 pounds, so even if you are restricted to a studio apartment, this pooch will not mind. Boston Terriers are pretty inactive. One walk a day is all you need to make sure these dogs get a good workout.
