Hey, so I have a german shepherd pup who is roughly 5 months now. He is pretty cool. I haven't had a dog before that understood relatively easily what I want/need him to do, im actually surprised how well hes growing despite me not knowing much about raising dogs (he's the only dog I've had since 8 weeks old).
Anyway, right now our primary activities to exercise him involve playing fetch in a fenced in football field (I slam his kong balls with a louisville slugger about halfway down the field and he retrieves them) and hiking on mountain trails.
I was wondering, what are some more creative play exercises you guys recommend? He's very smart and these activities, though he enjoys them, are not really stimulating him mentally. I do the normal things like teach him tricks, work on his recall, etc etc when we're not out and about, and hes picking up on those well, but I was trying to think of some fun games that could be both physically and mentally stimulating. Any ideas?
