Rain Rain Go Away, How do you exercise your Dog on a rainy day?

It's a soggy Saturday morning in NJ. Dutchess looks at me as if she's saying "Mom do I have to go out in this rain?" But of course she does, and after a little nudge, off she goes in the backyard. Upon returning into the house we do our drill. Open door, come, sit, stay, please please stayyy so I can wipe those dirty paws!! Then after a quick sprint around the room she does her "rub" against her bed,circles around and "humph" back to sleep.

They're calling for rain all weekend. So how does your dog get exercise? I am certainly not enthusiastic about sloshing around in the rain. Dutchess does have a cute little yelllow raincoat;( but I dont think she's very happy to be seen in it).

Wish we had one of those doggy treadmills! Sounds to me like it's time for doggy plyometric exercises in the basement...Time to call in our full of energy 6 year old to start the warm up routine.

I'll let you know how it goes.... Happy Saturday!
