How Much Activity Does My Dog Need? How Much Space?

A Reader Asks…

I have a 6 month old boxer/mastiff mix who stays indoors with me most of the time right now. I walk him for 3 miles a day (usually one walk but sometimes two trips of 1.5 miles each), and at night he usually needs to go out and play for 20mins-1hour (we usually play fetch or a football type game).
How much activity does he need at this age and how much will he need as he grows? I bought an invisible fence and am going to install it this weekend and work on training him to stay in the backyard…I’m unsure about how large of a space I want to give him (theres about a half acre of space available but I want him to have a portion of it to himself where he can run around and play in the grass without messing up the garden or anything). What is the smallest amount of space he would need? I’m just gonna let him out in the yard during the day so he doesn’t get bored…his activity schedule probably won’t change (playing/walking daily) and he will be inside after dark.

Hypothetically Speaking, Is It Right To Engage In Sexual Activity With An Underage Dalmation Dog?

A Reader Asks…

no. dogs can only engage in sexual activity on their second heat, and that’s when they’re about a year old. that’s in the law. if the dog gets pregnant and gives birth to puppies you won’t be given legal papers for it and stuff.
so don’t ***** that dalma just yet.

What Are Dog Friendly Activities In Goose Creek, Sc?

A Reader Asks…

We are headed to Goose Creek, SC for 5 days in November for a Navy graduation ceremony. We are torn between taking our two dogs, one medium sized the other small, with us or kenneling them. I really don’t want to kennel them unless we have to.
We will also be spending some time around Columbia, SC. What are some dog friendly activities everyone will enjoy? What about hotels?

Besides Cement, What Kind Of Ground Cover Can I Put In The Dog’s Area That Will Hold Up To Lots Of Activity?

A Reader Asks…

The dog runs around the fenced yard so much that she has worn out the grass, leaving only dirt. Also, while we keep the area cleaned up, it still stinks from doggie doo-doo and potty. We’ve ruled out shredded bark, pebbles, sand. Tried replanting grass – it comes up – then gets trampled to death. This area becomes a mud hole when it rains. Help!
