How energetic are your dogs?

Trigger is definitely my highest energy dog...that said, he HATES to go for walks on lead, so I tend to not force him to go for the walks...instead I make sure he gets lots of romp time in the yards...he is so fast and loves to just sprint around but he hates the confines of being on lead.

Laurel is our lowest energy, I swear she'd never leave her crate if we'd feed her in there and provide her a tray to potty in She can't go for walks either as she has a bum leg from an accident I guess when she was a puppy.

The other 4 all love going for their almost daily 2 mile walk, but they aren't crazy energetic besides that. They chase each other around the yard some and chase Trigger in the yard but they prefer to lay in the sun, wrestle in one spot or just chill out with bully sticks...I count myself lucky the 4 of them are so chilll!

Pip is the same. He hates walking on a lead, he doesn't really like going for walks much at all period. Roo likes it more, but she doesn't get super excited about it or anything. I initially found it unusual that they weren't into walks, especially after 18 years of having a Pom that went insane every time I brought out her leash.

The more I think about it the more I realize mine just take their cue from me. They're pretty much my little shadows.

I figure no point in forcing Trig to walk if he's getting a good 45+ minutes of very active play in the yard but if he starts getting lazy I guess I'll have to force him to go But yeah, interesting that Pip isn't a huge fan either, and Roo is just like, okay mum...I'll go...silly puppies

Brody used to be the energizer bunny. Now that he is 3, he seems to have mellowed some. But.... we have increased our activity since moving to WA and he gets several long walks a day. Sometimes a couple of miles, sometimes half a mile, depends on the weather. We also have a very long flight of stairs (17 steps) and he chases his ball up and down them. If we're not out walking or I'm busy, he's mr lazy and will put himself to bed and then not want to get out of it. ha ha.

So I'd say he's very much like Pip and Roo and takes his clue from us. If we are active - he's right there. If we are relaxing - he is too.

Missy I'd love to see your guys at agility... Hint hint nudge nudge

I will try to get a video! I need to bring the BF with me so he can film.

Leila is very high energy...maybe that's why she never seems to not be hungry!
Finn is much more relaxed. They have several good zoomies and wrestle's everyday!! I love watching them play!
