All puppies, including Rottweiler puppies, have growing bones and joints that are still developing. Excessive high-impact exercise, such as running on hard surfaces or jumping, can potentially lead to joint problems later in life. Until your puppy’s growth plates have closed (usually around 18 months of age), focus on controlled and moderate exercise.
For very young Rottweiler puppies, the general rule would be around five minutes of exercise per month of their age.
As your Rottweiler puppy grows, you can gradually increase the lengths of walks and playtime. Focus on controlled activities such as walking, jogging, or light training.
