I care for my own dog with a mix of daily exercise, enrichment, and fun. She gets a long walk every day—usually a couple of miles—and plenty of yard play. When the weather cooperates, we explore the riverfront or Duck Creek trails. She’s an energetic 18.5‑lb Aussiedoodle, so we add ball‑chasing, simple training games, and confidence‑building activities like hoop jumps. I always keep her leashed for safety.
