Guest robingrey Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 We have heat advisory's out until 7 or 8 at night. I was wondering what you all in the same position do to get your pups some exercise. I would hate to sent him/her out in that heat to work up a lather!

Guest Che_mar_Cody Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 we move the dining room table to the side and play fetch with the stuffies, or I have him run and chase me around steps. Makes me fell like a little kid again too : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jomalley Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Mine will run back and forth down a long hallway at work sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xan Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 We play training games and wrap up with a game of hide the treats. Works like this: Everyone in a down-wait. I walk around in plain sight and put bit of kibble, fruit, carrots - whatever - around on the floor, window sills, chairs .... Then I say, "Okay! Go get 'em!" and they all run around like maniacs trying to find the treats! I keep 'em worked up verbally, and usually end with an additional game of tossing treats in different directions, saying, "Go get it!" They LOVE it! Mine won't play with toys like that, but food! That's different! Quote My Inspirations: Grey Pogo, borzoi Katie, Meep the cat, AND MY BELOVED DH!!!Missing Rowdy, Coco, Brilly, Happy and Wabi.

Jiffer Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Mine are usually content to lay about on hot days. In the later evening when it has cooled some, we would take a short walk. If they are in dire need of exercise (read: Uber or Echo), then I'll play with them in the basement. They seem to be adept at a doggie form of tag or we'll play fetch with stuffies.

Guest SusanP Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 We usually just walk as much as we can at dawn and at dusk. That way, they are content to sleep during the really miserable part of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sheri Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Way & Eric usually have spurts of running up and down the hall during hot summer days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
