    How do you have fun with your dogs?

    How do you have fun? I'd like to do something new and fun with Daphne. I'm kind of looking for ideas, so tell us some details in your post!

    I used to take Finn to the dog parks, but, after he acted so agressively at the myrtle beach one, I haven't taken him. I'd like to give it another shot, though, since he's been neutered. I also am looking into finding a trainer that can help me identify the problem (whether it's fear agression or if he's just really that much of a bad-a**). I'd like to get him into flyball or agility, too, but, as of now, we haven't done that.

    Daphne and I go for walks every day. A few times a week I take her to the park and let her run off-leash. She also likes playing with toys inside. And she LOVES wading and running at the ocean (my dad lives on the water)

    We have a lake nearby and when it was warmer we'd make at least a trip a week and Jamie would just swim swim swim!! Charlie is a wader, he doesn't like swimming, and I have to keep him on a leash hehe. Jamie also LOOVEEESS just running. For no reason. Just... running! And they BOTH LOVE playing outside with sticks (you know the "you can't get me! na na na nana na") but I think we MOSTLY play inside and outside

    I try to walk my fur kids every day. They love it. I was walking all 3 of them this morning, we walked by a guy that was hanging out clothes he told me I needed a sled. On the weekend I take them down to the high school and let them run off leash in the baseball field. Its all fenced in, they love it. Sometimes my husband and I load them up and take them out to run in the wide open space.

    I also play with them inside and out. Ebony has tons of engery so I play with her a lot. A tired dog is a happy dog as they say.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

  9. I voted for Walks and Other.

    he loves to walk around with me outside.
    but if i bring my camera with me,, he acts even more happy and hyper then he usally dogs.

    so walking and picture time is our way of having fun. LOL

    sometimes i'll play hide and seek on him if he runs too far ahead.
    i guess he doesnt use his nose. as i can hide behind a tree not even a foot away from him and he'll run right by me. so he would really suck as a hunting dog. LOL
