I agree w/that so much! Going for regular walks is so much stimulus and exercise for your puppy.. it tires them out and they just love it. I can't think of when my gang is happier than when they've all just been on a long walk, had some water, and pass out together

Adie gets about 10 - 15 minutes of wrestling with me before we get up for the day then we play fetch for about 30 minutes at night. My husband is disabled and home all day so she gets to go outside and run all over the backyard several times per day. He will play fetch with her for about 10 minutes twice a day. She is usually a pooped puppy by 8PM and ready for a full nights sleep.

No we play all day when I'm home this is a designated play time during
the week when I work.
He also gets walked 4x daily at least 20 min each time. I don't consider
that play time though. One on one to me is play time. In the evening
it's throw the ball from the recliner and playing on my lap watching TV.

At 6 months, he's got a lot of puppy energy. Walking him is the best thing you can do for him, it's good exercise for you and it can be so relaxing. Playtime has to be set by you - how long do you want to play with him? I read somewhere that 3 times a day for about 15 minutes is enough for an adult dog. For a puppy, they just want to play all the time!

I don't spend that much time playing with Buttercup. My husband usually does because I'm in college and when I'm away from campus, either I'm studying, taking care of my 4-year-old son, or cleaning up his mess. Although, I do spend a lot of time cuddling with him. Does that count too?

Summerlin is almost 7 months old, and I play with her for about 10-15 minutes in the morning before I go to work. I come home at lunch at least two days a week, just to play with her And at night, I spend about an hour playing fetch and chase with her. The rest of the time, she just lays around on me - where ever I am. I have come home and caught her sleeping on the arm of the couch - so that is why she is always full of energy when I get here!

GiGi and I spent time in the mornings and after the kids go to bed. I also come home everyday during my hour lunch! We nap together too, if that counts!!!
