Whether you&#8217;re going for a stroll together, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/how-do-i-teach-my-labrador-to-fetch\/\">playing fetch<\/a>, swimming or making your own obstacle course, the sky&#8217;s the limit! Today I&#8217;ll share the things that have most successfully <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/relax-my-dog\/\">chilled out <\/a>my busy fur baby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your wonderful Labrador just a little bit too excitable? Does he seem to need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/how-to-exercise-your-labrador\/\">more exercise <\/a>than he&#8217;s currently getting, but you&#8217;re not sure what more you can do? In this article we are going to look at 9 wonderful ways to tire out your Labrador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Lively Labradors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Labradors are the most popular breed of dog today. And anyone who has spent five minutes with one of these wonderful animals can give you a truck load of reasons why. But sometimes the things that make them loveable are also a little bit wearing or even inconvenient!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps surprisingly, even the most devoted Labrador &#8216;parents&#8217; sometimes tell us that they would love just a bit more down time at the end of the day. Ideally we want our lively Labs to enhance the fun of active daily life, then provide a relaxing partner in the evenings. But some Labs have more &#8216;get up and go&#8217; than their friends. And that &#8216;get up and go&#8217; just won&#8217;t quit.<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=thelabsit-21&amp;l=as2&amp;o=2&amp;a=1785030914\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what do you do to get that well deserved down time at the end of the day, when living with a bundle of endless bounce? Here are some fun and fabulous ways to help your lovely but lively Labrador burn off that excess energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Don&#8217;t walk &#8211; run!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of going for your daily plod around the park, pop on your best running shoes and take off at a faster pace. Good for you and good for your dog too!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/running.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/running.jpg\" alt=\"Yellow labrador retriever running towards the camera on a sunny day.\" class=\"wp-image-11073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/running.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/running-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Play fetch as you go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Retrieving is a fabulous way of exercising your Labrador. Not only does it appeal to your Lab&#8217;s basic breed instincts, it means they will get to rack up a lot more miles than you will actually cover. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/self-fetch-dog-toys\/\">Bring a tennis ball <\/a>or retrieving dummy and throw it for them every few yards. Not only will your dog get more exercise, but they will feel even more inclined to stay nice and close to you waiting for their next turn!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/fetch.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/fetch.jpg\" alt=\"fetch\" class=\"wp-image-11068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/fetch.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/fetch-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Set up little jumps in the garden or when out in the fields. Just remember to follow safe jumping practices as described here!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/jump.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/jump.jpg\" alt=\"jump\" class=\"wp-image-11070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/jump.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/jump-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Take them for a swim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Going for a dip is great exercise, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/my-labrador-wont-swim\/\">most Labs love the water<\/a>. It&#8217;s also perfect for older dogs who want to exercise more than they are now able, as it&#8217;s not weight bearing. So not such a strain for sore joints!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/swim1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/swim1.jpg\" alt=\"Labrador Retriever standing in the lake in summer\" class=\"wp-image-11076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/swim1.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/swim1-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Overcome agility obstacles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/can-labradors-do-agility\/\">Agility is a fabulous exercise <\/a>and a real bonding experience for you both. You don&#8217;t even have to attend a class to have fun with agility exercises. You can buy a basic kit to prop up in your backyard, and give it a try all by yourselves!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/agility.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/agility.jpg\" alt=\"agility\" class=\"wp-image-11071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/agility.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/agility-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Teach a new trick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Engaging your Labrador&#8217;s brain is another great way to focus their enthusiasm. Why not try teaching them a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/teaching-your-labrador-tricks-should-you-or-shouldnt-you\/\">new party trick<\/a>, like standing on their back legs or spinning in a circle? Great fun for you, rewarding and tiring for them!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/trick.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/trick.jpg\" alt=\"trick\" class=\"wp-image-11077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/trick.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/trick-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Play tug of war<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of Labradors love to play tug. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/best-dog-toys\/\">use a rope toy <\/a>from the toy shop, or even an old towel. If your dog seems disinclined at the start, try wiggling it around on the floor and coaxing them into it. They probably won&#8217;t need a lot of encouragement!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/tug.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/tug.jpg\" alt=\"Dog pulling rope\" class=\"wp-image-11072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/tug.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/tug-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Doggy&nbsp;play dates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Labrador is a social creature, then<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/how-to-socialise-your-labrador-puppy\/\"> inviting over a friend<\/a> is a great way to tire them out. Go for a walk with a friend and her dog, or just invite them over to romp in your yard whilst you have a well deserved cup of coffee. Just make sure that if it&#8217;s a puppy they don&#8217;t get over tired, as young dogs are not great at knowing when to stop!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/friends.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/friends.jpg\" alt=\"friends\" class=\"wp-image-11075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/friends.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/friends-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Two person&nbsp;recall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need a dog loving friend for this one! A fab way to practice your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/train-a-puppy-or-dog-to-come\/\">recall command <\/a>as well as getting some miles under your Labrador&#8217;s belt is to stand in a field with a friend, calling the dog back and forth between you. Giving them a treat each time they arrive. You can gradually increase the distance as your dog works out the game!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/recall.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/recall.jpg\" alt=\"labrador retriever dog\" class=\"wp-image-11074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/recall.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/recall-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Labradors are energetic and lively dogs.
