Dog Training Advice
Hello All,
Here is my dog training advice to you.
Most dogs have more energy than their parents would like. Unspent energy can lead to unwanted behaviors such as jumping, chewing, digging, and barking. Exercising your dog on a regular basis is as good for your dog as it is for you. Learn your dog’s optimal exercise level. When your dog is relaxed, he has reached that state.
Many pet parents are limited in their choice of safe exercise areas. Likewise, most dogs do not have a totally reliable recall if they are let loose in an area with many distractions.
Incorporate some sit-stay lessons into your walks. A thinking dog uses up as much energy as a running dog. Toss a Kong a few feet from your dog while in a sit-stay position. Release him to fetch after a few seconds. Treats and verbal praise follow. Great fun for you and your dog and an enjoyable way to teach her an important control lesson.

Those are some really useful advice. Personally, I would take my dog out for a run in the park or get him to chase down the balls during evening so that he would use up his energy. But I think the best way is to spend some time and bring your dog out for a half an hour evening walk. While exercising your dog, you get to move your body too.

Dog Training and Behavior Problems
You make a very good point. Exercise is a very important part of dog training, as it makes it easier for a dog to learn when he is relaxed and not agitated. Exercise also works wonders for dogs that show aggressive behavior; it allows them to release pent up energy and frustration in a positive, non-aggressive way.

When Kramer was a puppy, we used to take him to a nearby forest so he could drain his energy running with other dogs in a safe environment...then we played hide-and-seek with him (really!) and this taught him early on to always keep an eye on us - we just might hide!
What am I saying, we STILL do all that!!
