How do you exercise your dog/s every day?

[dab_20]

My two get a half hour walk everyday. Sam usually gets a game of fetch and Molli gets to play soccer. Then afterwards they both come outside and they romp around until they drop.

usually we take an hour walk in the moring and in the evening..some days we'll go to the dog park for a run, or take a hike in the early morning

I put a romp in the yard, but realy it is a romp in the horse pasture playing with my horses!! It is pretty cute, it is like they are playing tag!! The horses always win tho!!!

He loves to be in the yard in the summer and we play fetch and he runs around a lot and then at night when it cools down we go for a walk. Sometimes 15 minutes but usually about 45.

My dogs get a varitey of excersizes. I play sports with them, such as frisbee, agility, and flyball. They get walks around the block and get an off-leash romp at the school field when the school is closed. They also get to romp with me, and eachother in the backyard. Tired doggies are good doggies!

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.

my dogs get inside play, outside play, walks, and Gracie gets daily walks on her tredmil.

My dogs get a walk, they play fetch, get a romp around the yard, and play inside.

And, swimming, I didn't see that as an option. We try to take Finn, Freckles and Dudley every night around 7:30 to an open range (about 200 acres!) park area where they run off leash and play in the creek. It's an awesome place, and only about a three minute drive from the house. We also try to get them out to the lake for off leash fun and swimming at least once a week. They don't get walks as often as I used to walk Finn, but, we have a back yard that we play around in several times a day. Plus, Finn loves to be chased, so, Freckles and Dudley chase him around the house all the time. David was running Finn daily, but, his knees have been bothering him so it hasn't happened as often as it was. I need to get up early enough to walk Finn while it's at least tolerable outside. We're working on getting a routine down.

Oh, sorry, I really didn't think about swimming.
