How to use this log
The Daily Exercise Log is the per-dog, per-day record of exercise. It is typically a section of the DCL, but a standalone version is useful for operators who want to track exercise patterns across dogs. The Log is filed with the dog's records. The Log is reviewed weekly. Any dog whose exercise falls below the daily minimum is flagged for review.
