What Other Ways Do You Exercise With Your Dog?

Gharrissc · 03-02-2013, 12:38 PM

It seems like their a lot of people who run with their dogs and I wanted to know for the non runners out there, what are some other ways that you and your dog exercise together? I prefer power walking with the dogs in most mornings and sometimes I take them hiking.

I take Fiona to a tennis court and play with her chuckit. I also take her on my bike with a walky dog.

I used to love walking for hours, exploring trails in the woods, but as my arthritis acts up, I'm more limited.

Still, we play fetch with the chuckit a lot, drive them nuts with a flirtpole, run blinds, bike, cross-country ski, swim, get them jumping and climbing stuff.

Walking, hiking/backpacking, biking, rollerblading, sometimes swimming at the dog beach, fetch, playdates, agility, etc...
I also like to do what I call "urban agility" basically when I'm walking my dog in the city I have them use things we come across in the landscape like agility equipment, so if we see a low wall or bench I will have them jump up and walk along it, if there's short obstacles they jump over or go under them, staunchions I have them weave through, a big rock I have them climb it, etc...

Hiking, walking, biking and some times swimming though the latter is just me throwing a bumper and they are swimming.
