No one becomes a Dalmatian owner because they want a lazy dog that will lie around all day. These fun-loving dogs need a lot of exercise to be happy. You probably do not have time to spend walking several hours every single day, but there are a lot of things you can do that will burn spurts of energy in a relatively short amount of time throughout the day.

1. Running

Obviously, if you are a runner, Dalmatians are one of the perfect breeds for you. Your dog will be your running companion anytime you are ready, and a run never feels like as much effort when you are looking at a wagging tail the entire time. Do make sure you carry water for your four-legged friend, and if it is summer, keep him off the hot pavement.
