Well unfortunately that is not the problem(I wish it was that simple ). I am at home. He is played with all day. I take several breaks while working, at least once an hour, take him outside unless he is sleeping of course, play with all the dogs(fetch or just running around chasing me) or just letting him explore the smells in the yard. Plus while he is awake after coming in I will play fetch with him inside by tossing all his little toys around. He also plays with Champ several times during the day, kind of wrestiling around(as much as a 2 pound dog can do with a 60 pounder). And prior to him doing his "digging" I am playing with him on the floor, either working with his sitting, laying, or just playing fetch or running around. He is very well exercised. As far as walking goes we mostly stay in the yard as the asphalt is just so hot here right now. We walk up and down the driveway or run through the grass. He loves to play chase with me and the other dogs.

edit: Also we are teaching him to swim so he can get exercise in the hot Florida sun and stay cool at the same time.
