I don't walk Callie as much as I should but plan to get a little better at that. We play chase its kinda hard to explain but I put my hands up like I'm sneaking around and it gets her running around like crazy. She also exercises a lot on her own and will run like crazy in the back yard as well as run up and down the fence racing the dog next door.

I have a half acre lot all fenced in. I am sure running this property is enough excersize for any dog but I still take them on walks and it aint easy walking 6 dogs by myself

Katie Scarlett is a live wire too! We usually go from 1-2 walks per day. We also play in the front yard a lot on days that are nice. On rainy days, we play in the house and I throw toys from one end of the house to the other like you. I also try to do several training sessions a day to keep her occupied. I am a stay at home wife though so I have more time on my hands than most. LOL

We walk about 3 times a day most days (8AM, 1:00PM & then 8PM). Lately however, we go to my next door neighbors house and play with her new pup (a cocker 8 weeks old). She has a fenced back yard so I can take him off the leash. He lets her pup chew on every inch of his body while running around like a bat out of hell. We just spend about 30 min over there and he comes home and drinks water so fast he chokes. Then takes a long nap. During our walks now he whines to stop at her house to play. Very endearing.
