Too much exercise before a Great Dane reaches their second birthday can hinder bone and nerve development. Many owners minimize physical activity for the first 18 months to prevent joint and hip issues. But unlike other dog breeds, Great Danes don’t require a great deal of exercise, even as adults. Most breed experts suggest a minimum of 20 to 40 minutes each day. A brisk walk a couple of times each day will suffice.
