Theres a lot of things to consider.
Feel free to add aspects here.
My boy Rocky, he’s ball/toy driven as well as food driven and has good prey drive.
Exercising him is pretty easy.
Throw the chosen ball or toy!
There’s at least 3 balls floating around, any one of them on any given day is “the ball” the others suck that day
I admit my yard is smallish, much smaller than most but perhaps slightly larger than a few.
I feel my job is complete on our daily play sessions when he decides laying down to chew on the toy is more important than pestering me to throw it again, which he is very proficient at
We have pretty much zero in the way of destruction around here. Happy boy, exercised and mentally stimulated.
He spends his free time napping, lol.
I feel fortunate he’s not a destructo dog, I’ve heard some horror stories.
If I notice signs of him digging it’s a sure sign I haven’t ran him enough or ran him through some commands enough to challenge his mind.
I’m considering buying some agility poles and maybe a nylon tunnel to see if o can get his oldish ass moving in a new direction.
