Most dogs need lots of exercise. Here are some fun games that I made up myself:
Fetch: Everybody knows this. Just throw a ball, and have your dog retrieve it. To make it fore fun, throw a treat wrapped in paper and see what your dog does with it.
Obstacle course: Make an obstacle course with hurdles, jumps, and maybe even a tube with various materials such and cardboard boxes, sticks, masking tape, old blankets/tarps, wooden boards, cinder blocks, and any other random stuff lying around. You could even add a kiddie pool in the summer. If your dog won't run it, lure him with a treat.
Doggy pinata: Wrap a treat inside paper. Attatch a string to this, and hang it from the ceiling. Watch your dog pulverize it. (Also great for Christmas: Wrap a treat, toy, or goody in wrapping paper)
Find the treat: Hide a treat somewhere, and have your dog find it. You could also try adding multiple treats, or have him find you.
Dog Sports: Run with your dog, or bike with your dog

Lazy Dog game (For lack of a better name): If you have a lazy, small dog, Put him in your arms and just run around. Many dogs are mesmerized by this. Or look at hristu.net with your dog. :-D
