Aside from jumping or walking up his doggie ramps and steps and up into the den window still from the couch cushions about 15 times a day, we walk once a day outside almost every day in the week. Im just resuming some activities after hip surgery a year ago and complications so I am still quite limited.

We play fetch 3 or 4 times a week and he has his backyard to dash across chasing his squirrels and chase up and down the fence if anything should go down the alley and he sees it from the den window, he barks to get outside where he can run up and down the fence and bark where it was. When Gracie and Rusty, the Corgi's from next door are out, they chase up and down the fence endlessly, at least Rusty and Tibbe do. The rest of the time he just runs the perimeter of the yard when the spirit moves him. Some days he's out there 8 or more times a day, and some about 4. He occas. has 25 trip days when it is sunny and I feel like it.

His obedience and trick work don't involve exercise other than his jumping over his agility jump, which he does 8 or 10 times each session. He chases his balls, kongs and such around playing but that's not vigorous exercise. When I feel like it, I now can chase him when he has a chew chip in his mouth and sometimes he runs hard while I'm just moving fast but he'll run circles around me. He's still under-exercised but until I can do more, it has to be that way.
