I don't get Harley out every day, but there are several reasons.
-I work, and am pretty depressed in my job so when I get home I crash (but that's a crappy excuse)
-there is a huge amount of construction going on in and around my building, and sometimes it's just not safe for him to travel through that.
-My building has a lot of dogs, and I've noticed a lot of urine in the elevators, so I try not to take Harley in them alot (21st floor, so we need to use them to go down)
-I'm in Canada, weather sucks here A LOT. so turrential rain or snow prevent me from going when that happens.
-We also usually go for 3-4 hour outtings when we do go out. or go to Bark N Fitz where he gets to play with one of the employee's dogs.
Instead we play really hard with him multiple times a day inside. My sweetie goes home at lunch to play with him, he plays this game where he runs around the apartment like a lunatic squeaking and screaming, and Harley chases him barking and twirling. I play heavy games of fetch and games of tag.
Once we move at the end of the month I'll be taking obedience training, and walking him out more, I'll be away from construction and will have a safe back yard. Then we'll be walking at least once a day (weather permit)
