I don't think he has ever claimed that he 'invented' the need to exercise, but it is one of his fundamental beliefs, so I think it is fair to include it.
ETA though of course the style of exercise could also be questioned - personally I hate to see tredmills used for 'everyday' exercise (though could see they may have a use for rehabilitation after injury etc).

Aha....but to say 'yes I exercise my dog lots' doesn't mean I agree with CM....just means I exercise my dog lots

What makes me laugh about that program is the owners. When he asks them how much exercise they get, the response is often "Oh, Fluffles gets a walk at the weekend and then just runs around the yard". And then they wonder why Fluffles is misbehaving? it just astonishes me how lacking in common sense some people are. If you can't be bothered to peel your butt off the sofa to entertain your dog at least once a day, don't get one!

Dont get me wrong I totaly agree with making sure my dog gets enough excercise but I dont agree with the way CM does it, I give my dog mental and physical exercise, I alow it to sniff and be a dog, I have longer walks some days and shorter others - I am not trying to run my dogs till it is too tired to offer any behviours
So I use none of those things
