Tired Dogs - When is it Too Much Exercise?

Dogs get tired, just like we do. Especially if your dog is unused to an exuberant romp, you should watch for these signs of fatigue:

•    Tongue appears to be drooping
•    Dog is staggering
•    His or her panting is rapid
•    Waiting a few seconds before retrieving a stick or ball

Your dog might do other things to let you know she’s had enough, but these are some of the usual signs to watch for. Have fun, get out there and exercise, but just don’t overdo it, either one of you!
