How do you exercise your dog(s)?

[Sevaede]

Spanky is a very small pup so she has not been allowed outside, yet. She tires easily playing inside and tring to dominate over the cats, though!

depends entirly on the day lol it could be:

-dog park(for my moms, as Happy cant go)
-random open feild to run(for mine)
-with me in the back yard
-for a walk
-for a bikeride
-bikejoring
-fetch up the stairs
-fun matches
-compititions
-random training(for mental stimulation)

what I happens is based on the weather, when I am doing, how much energy the dogs have that day, if I am working or not..etc..

5 KM Jog and hours of running full blast through the forest. Plus agility and play time.

We spend far more time outside in the summer than in the winter.

But typically the dogs get a two mile walk once a day along with some wrestle and fetch time in the apartment.

On most weekends, they get some off leash time at my parents house or the park.

I'm thinking of enrolling Chipper in a doggy day care at least twice a week to tire him out. Kia's getting tired of his "affection".

Same here. When the weather is nice, I get up early and Roscoe and I go for a nice long walk down a country road behind my house. Then after work, hubby takes him for a quick walk, then after dinner he gets one more walk (usually with me, sometimes hubby comes along). However, the weather has been around -5 with the wind chill, so that's just a bit too cold for those long walks. We go outside and play in the back yard, Roscoe loves snow. We'll play in the snow for a while, he'll get some walks but they are shorter. We'll also play chase inside the house (although once we have kids I don't think that will be such a good idea ). We will also play fetch inside, from the living room to the family room or up and down the stairs. I would love to enroll Roscoe in a daycare once or twice a week, but I can't seem to find any around me.

I train and work with the dogs everyday in agility and rally. When I am not working I take Zoey for a 2 mile walk, mainly for me not her. The dogs also run around on our acres all day.

Simba:
We go for walks, play around the house, chase around yard/house.

Nala: Walks, I chase her around the yard/house.

Kiara: She is the one who needs/craves the most exercise. Even more than Moo. She swims, goes for walks, fetches in the yard and house, frisbee, etc.

Moo Man: Walks, fetch, and he & Kiara usually go to the beach a couple times a week but we haven't in a few days.


The four of them keep eachother pretty occupied, too. Sometimes I feel left out but other times they all "fight" to bring me a toy.

I chase him around the house and we go for a walk. In the summer we go to the dog park a lot and bike rides, plus LOTS of fetch and wrestle time.
