What I meant by that was we let them run and play. We have a pond they use for swimming. We don't have them run, fetch, jump and do other tricks. They learn to play with other dogs for the seven months they travel with us and visit dog parks. I've seen other dogs participate on TV in competitions so I spoke with some viewing experience. I read Crowe's response about the dog appearing to have a blast so I thought I'd check it out. My dogs are healthy and happy and if yours are as well that's great.
