Currently this is our routine for Lucy.
Wife wakes up at 5:30am and takes Lucy on a 2 mile walk
After walk and eating, Lucy is crated until about 3:30pm
Myself and/or the wife walk Lucy another 2 miles in the afternoon.
Since Lucy is 9 months and seemed to want more stimulation and exercise, we decided to add a backpack with about 5lbs in it. We change it up when it comes to her actually carrying it. Sometimes we make her wear it once a day and sometimes both walks.
She absolutely gets more excited about walks when it involves the backpack. I don't know if we will be able to continue with the backpack once it gets really hot here. During the summer, the afternoon walk will probably be in 90 degree weather. I will have to see how she adjusts to the heat.
So what is everyone else doing to exercise their dogs?
