How do you make your dog tired?

[finn's mom]

I take Finn swimming! Or play fetch, but, the only thing that tires him out before me is to take him kayaking.

Pulling! 6 of mine just ran 18km pulling the ATV. They are good and tired now. Won't last long, but it's quiet for a little while!

Peej runs himself ragged chasing the laser pointer.

nothin beats a trip to the dog park and gigantic zoomies- meeting a small fast dog that loves to be chased usually helps, too. LOL! Sometimes long walks around the top of the resevoir. Sometimes just a lengthy game of fetch here in the yard will suffice.

The best way to tire Gonzo out (and the easiest for me) is to just spray the hose around on the lawn. He races back and fourth biting it, and he will literally chase the jet of water for hours... I think he would die of exhaustion chasing the hose if we let him

Swimming is also the BEST exercise in the summer, because it's no-impact and he loves it more than anything. We throw a tennis ball or his foamy frisbee thing over 100 feet out at our local lake, and he brings it back over and over!

I take Snowy for a walk twice a day. But ofcourse walking is not enough to tire her out. I let her run around the garden where she chases everything that moves. We play fetch when there are no other dogs around but what Snowy really likes is playing with other dogs her size - that really tires her out

I still take Snowy for a walk before her obediance and agility training.

Um...there is NO way I can ever make Blaze tired, lol! I could play fetch and walk him all day, and he only stops for short breaks every once in a while...ha.
