Hi all-

My little Toto has the energy of a stage 4 hurricane. He goes on three, hour-long, group walks a day (with two different walkers) while I am at work, so he gets loads of playtime with other dogs. But when I am keeping him at weekends or days off I don't have a pack of hounds to tire him out.

Are there any games for the unskilled owner that you guys would recommend?

So far we have failed at fetch (he either won't come back with the toy or looks at it fly then back at me like 'are you going to pick that up?') and Stay only works for as long as I am visible, otherwise he gets up to see where I have gone.

I am aware this is probably my own deficiency as a trainer because I have about as little patience as he does, so looking for some other ideas that might keep him occupied that don't involve feeding him like a german shephard...

:-)
