Provide exercise in safe environments such as an agility classes, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing, dock diving, or shopping with you. Use a chasing lure toy or have your dog fetch your tennis serves into the pool. Dont break the law; keep your dog on-leash except in select areas, such as dog parks and dog beach.
