How much exercise and alone time does my dog really need daily?

Thank you for your time. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 3 years and 4 months old

The type of questions you need answered largely depend on your dog's personal needs and personality. In general, a dog should be let out to urinate / defecate at minimum 2-3 daily. In terms of a exercise for a young, medium sized dog, at least two 10-15 minute walks daily would be advisable. Some dogs however will require considerably more exercise then this or they will start to act out by being destructive or anxious. The length of time to leave a dog alone will vary tremendously on the individual. Some dogs can be left alone for 12-18 hours while others don't do well for even a few minutes. I would recommend having Zephur crate trained so that he can have a place that he is comfortable in when he is not being supervised. Hope this helps and gives you some basic information you need.
