Is there a long room available for a sedate "fetch"? (This would be the kind of fetch where you roll the ball as opposed to slinging it around the room. )
That are all great recommendations guys. I agree with you. I do have a bunch of treat educational type toys. I think I need to get out with him more. It would be good for me as well as him. I think the high drive dog, the playful dog, is a correct diagnosis. Thanks for reading my long description. I will keep on being patient, training him, and when he tells me he wants to go out and play, I will listen to him for the benefit of both of us.
Not to bring up an old thread but I just finally found this one. There are toys you can buy that take minimal effort and they launch a ball for you. I'm thinking something like this http://www.hyper-products.com/k9kannon.html
Ha...yeah...I saw this on TV and thought it would be worthwhile too. When I had a GSD as a little boy, I used a baseball bat and a large super ball on a Sod Farm. Only took three hits to the other side of the farm and the dog was exhausted.
