He gets free play time in my backyard plus about a 20 to 30 minute walk 4 or 5 times a week. Lately, he has also had a couple of playdates with another berner and plays so well with her. Comes back nicely worn out . Do you think it is ok to increase the walks at this point? I'm am just trying to avoid joint issues later if possible as we all are lol. Thanks, Katie Palmer

I think you are giving just the right exercise for your dog. Exercise is a great way to have a healthy lifestyle.
