Julie Gausten Webboard User Reg: 01-16-2003 Posts: 108 Loc: Offline	I realise that each dog's exersise needs will differ - dependent on breed, size etc. But..... I have a small breed terrier (9 months old), who I walk/jog (on a flexi lead) for 2 and a half to 3 hour per day - and spend some time training & playing (fetch) - and she still doesn't seem to tire. Most nights she is up and about, trotting around (she was crate trained until she could hold it all night). Any suggestions on how I can tire her out further? (I am looking into taking her to agility soon). Thanks No one would normally plan to fail, but plenty of us fail to plan!

Julie Gausten Webboard User Reg: 01-16-2003 Posts: 108 Loc: Offline	Hi Andy, This must be an Australian Trait <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> (I live in Sydney!) Ruby just doesn't stop. I physically cannot jog/walk any further each day - and it's taking a good whack of time!. She does do quite a few tricks (and gets very excited when you ask her to do them) - I guess we need to teach her some new ones to keep her occupied. I also play hide & seek (she loves that) - as well as find the treat. If she had her way, we would do "stuff" all day and night!!. I will try crating her again at night, so we can get some peace <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> No one would normally plan to fail, but plenty of us fail to plan!
