Before we get started, I want to reiterate that most people have one dominate personality type and one (possibly two) secondary type(s). Even if you are an off-the-chart Lion or Otter, Golden Retriever might be one of your secondary types, so read on to see what you might can learn about that part of yourself.
Over the course of the 1st year, you can increase exercise with your Boxer, until he or she is meeting the requirements of an adult dog. A Boxer should have a brisk (20 minutes for a puppy, 30 minutes to 45 minutes for an adult) walk each day, given that the temperatures and weather are not extreme.
Yet as a general rule, Great Danes as a breed do not required excessive exercise. Over exercising a Great Dane is not recommended, especially with a growing puppy. Many Dane owners actually try to minimize Great Dane activity for their pup's first 18-months or so. Minimal exercise is typically enough to keep a growing puppy healthy and in shape. Over working a young dog during its rapid growth period can often have adverse affects on hip and joint development.
