I'm in southern California and as you have probably heard we have been getting pelted with days-long storms on and off since like October now. A new storm just started today (after a 4 day break from the last one) and will last until Wednesday (today is Thursday).
It is hard enough to get my dog to go out potty in the rain let alone keep her exercised enough while indoors all day. I have to go out there in the rain to get her to actually eliminate (otherwise she'll just stand there from underneath the patio cover and bark at the rain). Then trying to keep her CALM while indoors without a chance to go outside and run off her energy or take her for walks is really wearing on all of us. She is a very active dog and NEEDS to run in the backyard and NEEDS to go on daily walks. Without them, she uses up her activity bolting like a loose bat around the house.
Any suggestions for keeping dogs happy on rainy days? Doggie treadmill?
