[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 605850, member: 14557"] Playing fetch is not the best way to tire a dog. They easily turn stressed, overstimulated and hyperactive. Playing fetch is one at times (especially if you throw it to water and they can swim to get it), but best way to make a dog tired is give them some work to do with their nose. Teach them to track and you have an easy and quick way to tire them whenever you want. First start in you garden. Take small steps and drop a treat to your every step. Just 50 feet in first time. When dog understands what she is supposed to do, leave a treat only now and when and have bigger treat in the end. They learn fast and soon you can make them a trail into the woods and for example leave their food in the end in the closed box. Make longer trails (up quarter or even half miles) and do turns. Few tracking exercises a week keep her much more calm than throwing the rope 1000 times. [/QUOTE]
