Exercise in Winter?

[elizabethann]

There are also puppy einstein type toys that several people have posted. I keep saying I am going to order one, but I have yet to do it.

Do you have a link for the puppy einstein toys?

Argh! I just tried three different times to insert the link and it kept coming up Page Cannot be Displayed. The ones that were posted on here are called "Intelligence Building Toys," by a company called Sit and Stay or something like that. Kater posted it. I will find her thread and link it here. I actually think I may buy some for Sammy for his birthday, I think he would love the find the egg ones.

Here you go. I hope that worked.

Thanks for the link. I actually bought Fenway the birds in the birdhouse one (about 1 year ago). I just didn't realize they were called einstein toys. He loved it at first (for about 3 months). But then de-stuffed the birds. However, for the few months of winter, I would recommend them.

Thank you all for the ideas and the links! I am seriously considering getting one of those toys. Been wondering if her interest in things may change a little bit after her cataract surgery this coming Monday (Jan 29th). She will go from fully blind in the left eye to full sight!

I shouldn't have any trouble playing hide and seek with her; she is always right under my feet, so that would work for a short fun game; provided I can get away from her to begin with.

Thanks to all of you!

We have a family friend that taught their dog to play hide-n-seek with treats. Or rather hot and cold. They hide the treats under cushions and in corners etc. They taught him when they said warm he was near the treat and to keep going, hot meant he was right on it, cold well of course look elsewhere. But he loved it. He is 17 now and he will still search for the cookie when you tell him to(when you speak loudly, he's a little hard of hearing .

Also with my one boxer he loves when I take a towel or a blanket and wrap his toys up in there. I tell him the baby is sleeping....shhhh and he can't stand that so he attacks the blanket by pouncing and shaking it to get the baby loose. Maybe you could wrap a treat since your dog does not like toys. My dog will drag the blanket around the house until the baby is free. He loves this game and I find that it only takes me a minute to wrap it up but I can wrap it so well it takes him a long time to get the toy loose. When he finds it he will bring it back to do it again. Don't know if these are things you will be interested in...all dogs have their own thing but hey it is worth giving it a shot.

Lou Lou has a puzzle ball and loves to roll it around. We also play with the lazer light with her, she loves that thing. Good luck finding something that works for you.
