Going new places can also be a good workout. We take our pit mix out to new hiking areas whenever we can and all of the new things really help to wear him down.

I bet you could teach him yourself
as long as they have decent drive its pretty easy to teach dogs to do a job

Hummingbird Meadows

Yeah, I should probably look into teaching him some more things. We used to go to dog-friendly stores to train and I still take him to them, but he is familiar with it.

The trainer we worked with offers sessions in weight pulling or similar "job like" things, but they are freakin expensive.

You can make jobs like teaching them to assist you with daily tasks, hiding things and getting them search for them, all sorts of things

Oh, that's fun! My dog would probably be scared of the wagon or cart being behind him. XD

Drafting is essentially what sled dogs do, but with a tiny cart! Like horses do pulling carts or carriages. Minga loved it, and would get so excited anytime I pulled out her harness. Our little wagon broke sadly, so she has not done it in quite some time.

(My dog, Minga, was supposedly from the girls female blue am bully, but she later told me they rescued the litter from a bush before their eyes were open🤨

I guess I'm not sure what "jobs" are available for dogs that are mostly just pets except agility.

Hummingbird Meadows

11:21:15 Hummer

What is drafting? I have thought about doing agility with him, but it would be hard because he gets easily scared of new things.

Backwoods Beauties

11:20:22 Sway

Gotcha. If he is of standard poodle and golden lineage, he is likely from working/hunting dog breeds, so you may need to give him a job, rather than just walkies🙂

I have a dog thats a mutt who is the same way. She was supposed to be lab x American bully, but we think I was lied to. Shes super high energy and I think inbred because she has screws loose. I started drafting with her, and it really helped her work off energy!

and goldens are also generally pretty high energy dogs.

I made the dance team for my school! I'm kinda happy but at the same time I'm not sure. Oh well.

Jumping on people is a very common trait in poodles. Something about them just wants to be eye level

*typical backyard breeder. I think it is more of a breed/temperament thing.

Hummingbird Meadows

11:17:47 Hummer

At the time there were lots of other doodles in our neighborhood and we thought they had great personalities so we weren't opposed to getting one. I don't blame his breeder, his breeder was a wonderful lady who really did care and wasn't your backyard breeder.

Hummingbird Meadows

11:16:22 Hummer

Oh sorry, golden retriever.

Backwoods Beauties

11:16:05 Sway

But what is the other breed? Golden, lab, etc?

Hummingbird Meadows

11:15:29 Hummer

Second generation, so 75% poodle.
