    Hehe. If my dogs didn't get daily exercise they'd drive me nuts and probably themselves, too.

    Molli and Sammy usually tire themselves out by play fighting inside... I forgot to add that.

    I voted for all except for the last also.
    This thread reminds me of a sad thing. At work one of the dogs has rawhide treats, and is to be given one a day during boarding. The treats are called "Exerhides". It seems that the treat is marketed so that people think of chewing on a treat as a proper outlet for an energetic dog. Its as if giving a dog exerhides provides what the dog needs in daily exercise. Its sad to think that these labels are allowed with full knowledge that they give a false sense of fulfilling a dog's needs.

    we walk 2 miles a day (no kidding they actually walk to the vet a mile away and walk home for routine visits) they also have plenty of yard play (two boys 9 and 6 plus friends) and then of course the play fights while we try to stare at the tv

    Most days they just play inside and outside. Kaedyn has fear aggression issues, and Kai is fearful of cars and people (he's so fearful that he slips out of harnesses!), so they can't go for regular walks around the block. During the weekend and on weekdays that I get out of work early enough, we go to the dog park or open field.

    My boys get 3 (sometimes 4) good walks a day - one in the morning, one at lunchtime, one when we get home from work and sometimes a last thing at night stroll round the block.

    They also chase the heck out of each other all day long and cajole us into a game of fetch or 10! I'm exhausted
