How much exercise is too much for my yorkie pup? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My yorkie puppy is four months old, and I've let him play a few times at day care to socialize with other people and other dogs.

I made sure they give him treats mid-day so that he doesn't become hypoglycemic. But does anyone think him being loose to run around all day at day care may be too much exercise for him? (Maybe for his joints or bones). I will be leaving him there all day due to a business trip and am a bit concerned about this.

I'm not familiar with daycare but maybe they have an aera they can go and lay down or you can ask them to put him in his crate. Usually puppies sleep when they get tired. Hopefully someone who has experience with daycares will post.

Thanks for the reply! I guess I am concerned that fun is more important to my puppy than needed rest
