Outside Play Time

Here at Amos and Oak Doodles we feel one of the most important things for our dogs is outside play time. Australian Shepehrds especially crave exercise. While Moses is most happy chilling on the couch, Ruby much prefers to spend her time running around outside. If you get an Aussiedoodle, whether its from us or not, it’s very important to evaluate your puppies individual needs and do what is best for them. We have had puppies born here that need constant exercise and then we’ve had puppies who, just like their dad, would prefer to sleep in a quiet place. We allow our adult dogs free range of the yard a couple times a week and we also have structured playtime. Usually that’s a game of fetch or “catch the frisbee”. For young puppies and dogs - outside free time, a game of fetch and on leash walks across all sorts of terrain, especially uneven ground with grass or dirt, are best. If you are having trouble with your puppy focusing when training or being destructive, a lot of the time it stems from a lack of exercise. When you have moments of frustration, take a break, take your puppy outside and exercise him for a bit. A lot of times, that makes all the difference.
