Exercise, training & work...where do you fall?

[DJEtzel]

I am in a relationship.

I'm a full-time student.

I have two part-time jobs.

He has one part-time job.

Frag has one class for an hour a week on monday nights, comes to work with me at the dogpark for 3 hours mwf, gets a mile or two walk a day, long-lead play in the large yard, and lots of training inside everyday. We're enrolling in agility for the next session and I have access to agility equipment at the dog park where we'll be practicing a lot.

3 Dogs are let out at various times a day, fenced in acre to run around, dogs aren't normally crated, only certain circumstances.
DH and I work full time.
Only one of the dogs am I currently training goalwise.
We train a few minutes each day, maybe a few sessions a day or none, depending on what is going on.
I train with a SchH group once or twice a week, and doing private lessons for obedience/handling skills once or twice a week.
When the weather breaks, tracking will start up again~I can't wait!!!!!! The dogs are bored this time of year for sure!!

We both work full-time, dogs get at least two 5 mile runs Monday-Friday plus 1 longish walk, other days it's fetch, find-it, and homemade agility in the backyard for 45 minutes total (morning + evening). They always get a hike each day on the weekends, and soon they'll have training classes 1x/week.

@Zoey's mom- I think you get the prize- 2 working parents and two young children and Zoe still gets out for over an hour a day? I want your secrets for time management, bravery, and energy!

I am in a relationship.

I am a full-time student.

I don't work. My SO works from home (self-employed).

Sigurd gets about an hour time a day running (usually with a dog pal).

While in the home I play ball or tug. Since it's winter I haven't really gone outside to play, but in the summer we play a lot in the yard. I mix in training randomly though out the day. He goes out alone (with me watching thru the window) and plays with his toys/balls about an hour a day. He goes for 2-3 car rides a day, he seems to enjoy them!

It seems as if when we're in the house all he wants to do is sleep, so that's good. I guess our schedule is working =)

Otis gets less than an hour of outside exercise time during the week, but the exercise he does get is heavy exercise (for example a 2.5 mile bike ride in 40 minutes). He als gets mental exercise inside with fun games and such. On weekends he gets long walks and activities. We are going to start doing weight pulling exercises but it will still be under an hour during the week.

I am single.

I work full time (right now I have ALOT of overtime)

Normal work schedule: Monday-Friday 6:00am-2:30pm

After 2:30pm I am with the dogs and I do stuff with them until we go to bed between 10-11pm.

We go for walks, several times a week we go to the beach and they swim, we play and we work on training.

It kind of depends on what's going on and what the weather is like (If it's too hot we're kind of limited on outside stuff)

I am a full time student and I work part time. If it is on a day that I work, I try to take Sasha for a walk about an hour-hour and a half after I get off work. We usually walk for about an hour.

If it's on a day when I don't work then it really just depends. If it's a nice day we may go to the "park" where she can swim and run around with her little friend. We may play find the egg for an hour or so (apparently that game will not get old lol). We may go for a bike ride. It really just depends. I don't really have a set schedule for us.

Now that the weather is nice, I would like to bike ride with her for about 1/2 an hour in the mornings and then do about an hour of walking every night. I also hope to get us in obedience classes as soon as possible. We were supposed to start this month but the only day they did beginners was on the one night that I have a night class, so we'll have to wait and see what their next training schedule looks like. We do training on our own all the time. Besides regular training sessions we do obedience work all day: must sit and look at me to eat, randomly gets told to come, must wait for me to open the door and give her permission to go out, etc. I would some day love to do agility with her, as I think she would really like it, but right now the closest agility training place is an hour away and by the time I pay for gas and the class itself it will just end up costing more than I can afford right now, but hopefully wherever I go for graduate school will have some place I we can do that
