Great ideas everyone..........just wanted to add that whatever you do no off leash priviledges until you can be sure you know Ragner pretty good...and even then I would be cautious especially once he leaves Mexico
Some ideas for cold weather stuff:
- a lazer light in the back yard, they love to chase them
-find a tennis court that is enclosed and go in and let him run around (I only suggested this because we have a park with a fenced in tennis court)
-doggy daycare
-meet some new friends and do doggy play dates, doggy walks
-Sophie loves to have a snowball fight kind off, I throw the snow around and she goes crazy
-teach them to retrieve and then by yourself a chuck it ball (these are great)
-take the opportunity to train him indoors when its too cold....you could set up some chairs and different obstacles to move around in the house, doing sits, sit stays, downs, even healing throughout the house anything to use the brain and tire them out., they always say A Tired Dog is a Happy Dog!
have a pocketful of treats when doing this...
As I sat this my little munchkin doesnt want to go outside today, its by far the coldest day we have had in awhile...shes not stupid
Have fun!!!
