    My dogs get exercised daily but what we do varies from day to day. If it is extremely hot outside they may get a short walk or game of fetch outside in the early am or late pm if it is cool enough, if it is too hot even at those times we just play a LOT in the house.
    What we do on an average day with not too hot or cold temperatures varies too. Depends on if it is raining out or how much time I have. But sometimes we go on long hikes or walks, shorter if it's raining or snowing a lot. Sometimes we practice commands, weather it be obedience, agility or tricks. Sometimes we go to the dog park or a friends house with dogs.
    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.

    I was surprised that there are 2 votes for no exercise. Is this because your dog(s) are old or feeble?

    Fenway gets walks each day (even when I'm too pooped to walk) and we go to the ballfield and I throw a baseball around so he can fetch it. Or we go to the pond and he hunts for frogs and digs holes. Plus he goes to DDC about 2-3 times per week.

    He went to the vets on Friday and the vet kept saying "he's in excellent shape and he's so strong". I was like "that's my boy!"

    I also told the vet "you'd think I'd be skinny with all the exercise Fenway gets but I know how to open the fridge door and Fenway doesn't." heeheehee.

    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    My dogs go for a 30 minute walk daily, they play in the fenced yard together, and I play fetch with Lou Lou(8 months) atleast 3 times a day, I have to throw the tennis ball up to 30 time depending if there is any lighting bugs to distract her! We also play fetch in the house throughout the day! If I don't do all of this then Lou Lou will drive me nuts! We also took Lou Lou swimming for the first time last weekend, she loved it and Chester has always loved swimming(he is 6 years old) so I am going to try and take them swimming once a week while it's nice out! She sleeps so much better when she has had an active day!

    Me & my sister go to a fenced field every evening to play with the dogs for an hour, almost no matter what. They also go to the lake & run around & swim a few days a week. Gonzo practices Flyball on our own set of jumps & box, and he goes to practice for 2-3 hours every Saturday morning. Gonzo jogs with my older sister every morning for a few miles. They play through out the day in the backyard. I don't do walks with Fozzie at all, because I feel the repetitive motion on a hard surface is bad for growing pups.
