I am mother to a 1 and 1/2 year old beagle. We require about 2-3 hours of exercise a day and are very diligent about getting it! I usually pick up dogs of friends and co-workers throughout the week for hiking, going to the dog park, and playing in our yard. We love having lots of friends over to play. Ringo has been in training for the last year and so we practice impulse control and recall with all the dogs every day!
