My 15 week spoo, Bella, gets daily walks a couple of times a day. She has also finally caught on to fetching a toy and bringing it back. Yay! Her most favorite form of exercise though is grabbing something she isn't supposed to have and running from me and the kids. My kitchen has 2 entrances/exits and she just makes circles. If somebody looked in our window they would be very entertained at a grown woman, a 4 year old and a 2 year old trying to retrieve these items from a very fast puppy.

Hmmm, I've never posted first in a new forum before.

Henry likes to run about 3 zoomie laps around the yard as fast as he can! Then he's pretty much content.

Millie likes to steal socks and bolt away with them. She also likes doing zoomies around the yard - particularly when I am trying to get her to come inside in the morning so I can leave...

Both dogs love walks - we go for 30 min. to 1hr. walks a few days a week.

Rileys Favorite Game EVER is chase!!!!!!

Curlydogs

Cosmo just loves to be chased too. He will try to get any dog at the dog park to chase him - he tries to entice them with a stick, ball, frisbee, bark, or anything that may get them to chase him. Whenever we try to play fetch with him, he always tries to turn it into a game of chase-me-and-try-to-get-the-ball-from-me. He never willingly brings the ball back - which is kind of annoying.

CM, I like that, zoomies around the yard. Gracie loves zoomies around the yard with or without Holly.

Keep-away is Vasco's favourite game too. I managed to get some (just some!) control over it by setting the terms .... we play in the park, and I alternate fetch games with keep-away games. I never chase him without a trigger phrase ("I'm gonna GET you!!"). And when I'm done, I turn my back and walk away from him.

That said, he still steals socks out of the dryer . It's really difficult, but I try to never increase the value of what he has by indicating I want it. And I do lots of treats (even in the house) for retrieves. Usually, if I ignore him when he steals something, he will lose interest in it.

It can be maddening though! He went through a phase of stealing other dogs' toys out in the park, and then gaily running away. Very embarrassing.

My two love playing Monster Mice while I am getting dressed - I make scratching noises and wriggle my fingers under the duvet, and they pounce and dig for the mouse, which occasionally grabs them back! It usually ends up with the dogs having a wrestling match all over the thoroughly unmade bed.

Fonzie loves teasing our Boston Terrier puppy, Rocky, with a toy. He'll stand stock still until Rocky is about to take the toy from him, they he'll tear off around the house, acting very proud of himself! He'll do this over and over, until Rocky grows tired of it, or until Rocky actually catches him, puts his leg over Fonzie's neck, pins him to the ground, and takes the toy. It's great fun to watch each one trying to outsmart the other.

Penny's a runner. She loves running around the apartment and as much as possible, I've been taking her to a park where she can run off leash. She'll loves it there. She likes to run up to the other dogs and get them to chase her. She's so fast though that they often quit before she is ready.

Nickel loves playing fetch at home and being chased in the park. He tries to get other dogs to chase him in the park. One of his most compatible playmates is a small labradoodle. Both of them run fast and crazy.
