I bought a doggie backpack & have it filled with 4-6 water bottles to tire Joey faster & to  drain out his pent-up energy. And I must say the use of the backpack works! He’s less hyper during the day, and at the end of the night he looks like this:

Joey tired1

Joey tired2

He doesn’t even care anymore if his bum bum is not the bed, he just wants to lie down.
Look at that fat belly :-)

Sometimes, when it’s too hot outside or I’m just lazy to go outdoors, I walk him on the threadmill :-)
