pei obssessed Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 1. 2 times for walks (and 3-4 more times to go potty--we live in an apartment) 2. between 150 and 180 minutes--and more in summer. 3. Train basic obedience (Come when called, heel, sit, lie down, etc.) + talk to her (that definitely requires her to use her head, right? :wink: ) 4. dogs are my life :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajiesMom Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 1. About how many times do you take your dog/dogs out in a day? C. 4 times or more For potty I probably take Magic out 8-10 times a day because I smoke and Ryan is asthmatic so I smoke outside. Funny, I say "Wanna go for a smoke?" and Magic gets so excited and runs to the door because it means we're going outside. 2. About how long are you out with your dogs in a day? D. between 90 and 120 minutes I rarely let Magic out alone, only some times when I'm doing dishes in the kitchen and I can see her out the window, so most if not all her outside activities are with me. 3. What do you do to give your dog mental excersise (?? I have no idea what to call it... I guess the options explain it.) you can choose several ones. B. Train basic obedience (Come when called, heel, sit, lie down, etc.) C. Teach tricks D. Make up games that requires the dog to use its head. 4. What do you think of the dog "hobby" or whatever it can be called? A. Dogs are my life! Really, dogs are my life! I work with dogs, come home to a dog - do my doggie things with her and read a lot and talk about dogs on doggie BBs. I can never get sick of dogs or anything to do with dogs. They say people that have dogs live a lot longer than people that do not....I think I'm going to live forever then! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_Kat Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 1. 3-4 times 2. This varies depending on if we are out for training (usually about 2 hrs though yesterday it was 3 hrs!) or if its just a normal day with no training I would say 120 hours ish. 3. All of the above! Obedience, agility, canine freestyle, therapy visits, S&R etc! 4. DOGS ARE MY LIFE! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
