Watson's exercise


For those of you who were concerned about Watson's transition to city life I thought I would give you an update. Watson is doing great! The training we did with him before coming to Prague has really helped. Watson is able to walk off leash most of the time. We still put him on leash near busy roads just in case but otherwise he just walks next to us. He gets more exercise now then he did when we lived in NH. He gets at least a 3 1/2 mile run every day. Jason and I alternate days that we run and Watson gets to come with us. He gets 3 1/2 miles with me and then about the same with Jason but some days Jason does more. I usually take the girls and Watson to the park in the afternoon which is either about 2/3 mile round trip or 2 miles round trip depending on the park so he gets another good walk. We play a good game of fetch once we get to the park. He LOVES fetch now. He won't even go play with other dogs if he knows that I will play fetch with him. Watson then gets his last trip out around 9-10pm. We sometimes just bring him to the little park around the corner but more often bring him to the park that he likes which is about 2/3 mile round trip. Other than those times Watson is often sleeping! I guess he is tired from all the running, walking and fetching.
