My pit-bull mix is 11 and also overweight with arthritis. Luckily he still loves taking walks and playing with his toys!
Try gentle massage to help with muscle stiffness/mobility issues and gradually work your way up to longer walks and more activity. Your dog may be in pain (arthritis is just as common in dogs as in people) and may benefit from a daily, low-dose doggy pain reliever (I give mine half of a doggy aspirin daily and a whole one on rainy days--check with your vet). You can also try swapping out normal dog treats for cut-up fresh vegetables, such as carrots, sweet red peppers, cucumbers, watermelon.
