What are quick indoor or backyard exercises for dog weight loss?

Question

Hey I'm a high school student and find it really hard to get my dog to do exercise everyday, is there any indoor or even backyard activities which are intensive and less time consuming to help him lose some pounds. Pet's info: Dog | Samoyed | Male | 6 years and 10 months old | 83 lbs

Sure there are lots of activities, but every dog has a different preference in what they enjoy. You can certainly try tug the rope, fetch, just running after you, teaching him new tricks (which generally gets him moving) or I would just put him on a leash and walk him back and forth. However, walking is really the best method because he can explore the neighborhood, which is generally the most effective way to keep the pet interested and still moving. It is hard to balance life, school and a pet, but taking out 30 mins a day to walk your pet is a dedication most pet owners should have to really care for their pets health. It is a committment that will take your pet a long way. : ) Best of luck with Rex moving forward. Take care
