Ozzy and Barkley are very toy driven so i play fetch with them and that wears them out after about 30 minutes, i also use a flirt pole sometimes(you can make a cheap one using a broom stick, a rope and a toy). and they also like the spring pole

i make a flirt pole using a broom stick and rope...i tie the rope to the broom stick and then tie a toy to the end of the rope....then i just make the boys chase the rope with the toy on it...they love it

spring pole you just put a rope on a strong branch and attach a heavy duty spring to it then put a rope from the spring and attach a toy to the rope...ozzy will tug on it for a long time...barkley isnt so bright so he doesnt really get it lol but he will play with it for a bit if ozzy plays with it first


the rest of the dogs dont really care for toys so i just take them over the ball field and let them run their energy out

and in the warmer months i run them next to my bike or strap on my rollerblades and take them running...that wears them out in about 10 minutes
