My puppy is very tired after lots of exercise, is this normal?

Question

My beagle puppy is 16.5 weeks. He has had more physical and mental exercise this week as I have been off work. He seems very tired today but is very alert, eating and drinking like normal and eliminating normally. Is it normal for him to be very tired regarding the change in events this week? Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 22 days old | 15 lbs

Yes, he’s still a puppy and needs rest with lots of exercise. Playing and having him run free are fine exercise but It’s best not to run distances with him as his bones are still growing. Providing steady daily exercise is best. Training is also mentally tiring but good for Bertie. As long as he’s eating and drinking fine it doesn’t sound like this is anything to be overly concerned about. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Bertie.
