Chris 262/172/??? > > Exercise: None to speak of. LOL, I wonder what your "none to speak of" means. Mine means considerably more exercise than it used to. I'm taking a training break this week. So far I've been for a 45 minute walk in the woods with my children and dog, I'm about to go for another 45 minute walk on errands downtown and I'll do Pilates later. But it's a "no exercise" day for me. :-) By the way, I've totally given up running in the woods with my Lab. It just doesn't seem to be one of her skills. She lets me move about as fast as my four year old does. It's okay, I just take them both and call it a walk. Wendy >> >> Exercise: None to speak of.

But it's a "no exercise" day for me. :-) Mine, on the other hand, pretty much means no exercise :-). I spent about half the day at my computer figuring out my new company's (we got acquired) benefits selection stuff, which was due today. Then I mostly watched TV (something I seldom did until we got TiVo) and talked on the phone and read magazines and stuff like that. I did do a little laundry, and bagged up a couple more bags of too-big clothes for charity, but that was about it. Chris > By the way, I've totally given up running in the woods with my Lab.

I > always say it's like trying to walk with a 2 year old ;-) My dog is also useless on a fitness type walk, though I can get both of us moving with a rousing game of fetch. Once the snow gets deeper I'll get a good workout breaking trail for her with my snowshoes or even just walking through the deep snow - she likes jumping through snow that's over her head.

Chesapeakes, seriously, are not for beginning dog owners; they're intense pups, but they're the most awesome doggins I've ever had the pleasure to train. I've always been around animals, but when I met up with my Frank, (who was a hunter) I understood how intensely great Chessies are. They're stubborn, strong and smart. You, as the A1 Alpha Dog, have to be smarter. They will only respect you if you are. But once that respect is yours, you can do anything. All dogs are like that. If your dog does not have that respect of you, it's time for private obedience training. Every dog should treat you as if you are the Alpha Dog. They will love you more for it. Of course, I am of the opinion that all dogs need obedience training, and if that doesn't do it, then more personal training.

Our next dog (waaay in the future) is going to be a labradoodle or a giant schnauzer due to hair and dander issues. > All dogs are like that.

We did the whole status reduction thing when I came home full time from being away at school a few semesters and only home on weekends. During my absence, DH let her become leader of the pack and I wasn't having any of that. > Of course, I am of the opinion that all dogs need obedience training, and if > that doesn't do it, then more personal training. My dog graduated 4th in her obedience class and would have done much better if it weren't for *me.* I just got so excited when she held her stay that I changed my facial expression enough to confuse the poor dear :) Obedience isn't an issue with our dog. It's more that she's old and she's used to DH walking her and letting her sniff at will. If I put the training leash on her, she'd heel all day. I just forget that when I take her out and that her walks really are for her and not me. I prefer walking and running alone and taking her out for playtime.

I know what you mean. If I walk both the lab and the golden at the same time I end up with the "like walking a 2 yo" thing. My lab is 9 yo and she has learned that walking is for exercise, not sniffing. We can average 3.5 mph on our walks without much problem. The golden is 1.5 yo and she gets goofy sometimes. She is still learning the walking is for exercise thing. If I push, the golden and I can average 3.25 mph but she would probably be happier with 3 mph. Walking both at the same time requires a lot of coordination :-) Signaturejmk in NC > >>>By the way, I've totally given up running in the woods with my Lab.
