My puppy is hyper and wants to play. How much exercise is enough?

Question

How much exercise does a puppy need? He used to take more naps but now hes hyper like most of the time, which is odd because someone is here with him most of the time. He just constantly wants to play, which makes it difficult to get anything done at home. We spend plenty of time with him and we play with him a lot. Do I give in to his constant need for attention, am I spending too much or too little time with him, not strict enough, too strict? Help please! lol.

A puppy should get five minutes of strenuous exercise per month of age twice a day. At two months of age, Blu can have 10 minutes of exercise twice a day. You can get him some toys he can play with himself, such as a Kong toy. They are practically indestructible, and you can fill it with treats that he needs to figure out how to get out. Best of luck.
