Jackson typically walks 5 days a week for 30 minutes minimum, and 1 hour maximum. If he doesn't get his walk, he gets sooo restless inside (starts finding things to chew and bring to me, etc.) Also try to get in 4 mile walks on the weekends but that's become more of a once a month type deal.
Almost every Saturday we go to the dog park for 2-3 hours (today was his first time in over a month though, hot weather!) I also try to get him to the beach near my aunt's house (about 35 mins away from me) once every 2 weeks or so. We do games of indoor fetch on really really hot (or really really cold) days usually for 10-15 minutes of fetching down the long hallway. Also 10-20 minutes per night of trick/mental exercise.
We visit over at my dads house probably 2-3 days/nights per week. He gets the most exercise over there because there is an inground pool, so he swims and dives a ton. He also llooovesss to run along the fence as I ride on the opposite side on the four wheeler and chase me! He's gone up to 17mph beside me, he's fasssttt. I try to do that a few times by the fence on purpose so he gets good runnin' in for the day, LOL.
Basically... he's a really active dog! ha! And I love it. |
