Dogs need A LOT of excersize

Dog who are unruley, disobediant, or who are distroying things around the house usually end up as an outdoor dog or get turned in to shelters.

Ive run into these problems countless times in the past 20 years.

After a bit of dialog, it is usually discovered that the dog is an active breed and doesn't "get out" much and therefore does not have ample time to burn off the "pent up" energy.

I have the same issues when Patchs isnt able to get 2-3 hours of "outside time" everyday.

Here's a video of what Patchs is like after just 2 days in the house. This went on for about 10-15 mins. I got the last few on video after i went in the house and got the camera!!!

Mine have been indoors more than usual too....lots of storms here in the midwest.
Looks like Patches is super happy to be back outside! Saw your next door neighbor Rottie too!

Junior is very much like that when I don't take him out too often. People really need to understand just how important exercise is for a dog!

Yep,
low amount of exercise = damage to your house or personal property

Cute dogs, I suscribed lol! Star doesn't get much exercise ....He has never been one to bark a lot though. When he is out he really lets out his energy and plays hard for 2 sometimes 3 hours. 16 year old dog wearing an 18 year old out lol! Dogs do need to exercise a lot...even the older ones.
