Dr. Leigh, DVM · Accepted Answer

It really depends on the individual puppy but a few short walks is good for a 2 month old puppy. You can gradually increase the number of walks and the distance as the puppy ages. Do not over-exercise while the puppy is growing. Besides walking, you will need interact and play with the puppy multiple times a day. You can get various puppy toys to encourage play and let the puppy decide how long he wants to play. When he seems tired or not interested than stop and give him a break.
