I just came in from playing with our puppy. She LOVES to play fetch where I throw a ball or toy over and over - probably 10 -15 times in a minute. She runs full tilt to fetch it and bring it back, dropping that toy as I throw the next. I come in panting, sometimes almost as hard as she is from bending over to pick up toys and throw again as quickly as I can.
So how would you calculate this for your diary?

Pick some moderate aerobic exercise (not as hard as running, but more than yoga) - punch in the time, then use that as a guideline.
I wouldn't even count it, myself. If it's just playing with the dog, then if it burns a lot of calories, just call that a bonus. Unless you're strict on eating back exercise calories.0 -
If it's got your heart rate up and you don't do it every day, then sure, log it.
Maybe something like "walking, slow pace"?0
