Each time you leave the house they wish they were going with you, and that anxiety builds and builds, until finally your shoes are eaten, they've torn the pillows on the couch, ransacked the garbage, ate your houseplants, soiled the carpets, and start taking out their frustration on each other. Even longtime canine siblings seem to be having problems with each other and you have to separate them. The excuses just don't matter to the dogs.
FYI folks. Whatever you do in the Spring and Summer do in the Fall and Winter, it's a year-round commitment. Consistency is key!! Check out some of the activities you can do in the winter with your pup. Stay tuned for more tips and pics!
My boys are busy playing "hide the kong" and letting Rico find it. 1 boy stays down and the other hides it upstairs. Then they reverse it and go down. Up and down the stairs wears out the boys too!
ReplyDeleteWe've also found that our dog likes to "dive" into the big snow and come up like a dolphin. Too fun
Yes this snow is putting quite the spin on everyone's normal routine. That's a great game! Mental stimuli can be just as tiresome as physical exercise. Great substitute, even better in combination!!!
