How do I get my dog (pomeranian) to lose weight?

How can we get our 8 month pomeranian to lose weight? He's a toy dog and weighs 9 pounds, while the limit is 6 to 7 pounds. So, he's overweight by 2 or 3 pounds. Even though it's a little over the limit, it makes a difference for a toy dog's health. His skin feels fatty/ blubbery, but not too much.
We give him about 1/2 cup of food added with peas and milk (sometimes yam) twice a day. He also gets exercise- around 1 to 3 laps around our neighbour hood. His treat is a dried chicken breast once a day.
Thanks!!

How common is a hernia in a 6 week doberman puppy?

I am buying a doberman pup from it seems like a reputable breeder but I am just curious if this will impact the health of the doberman and whether it goes away by itself. There is some info on the internet but answers are not very clear.
