How to Keep a Husky/Labrador entertained?

Hi there,

I have a 5year old Part Siberian Husky and part Labrador Retriever and would like to keep him entertained. The poor guy looks bored most of the time when I'm not playing with him or taking him out to parks, etc.

All he does is sleep in a corner in my bedroom and comes and visits me next to where I'm sitting working on my computer every hour or so for 2 mins or until I stop playing with him.

Anyone have any ideas what I could get this guy to keep him busy while I'm working? Toys are pretty much useless to him, he sees them as he sees a typical object, he'll chew on them for 2 mins and than probably stop.

There's another dog in the house, a Lhasa Apso Miniature but they never really played together except when we go out.

Any suggestions or advice is appreciated! thx!

I was taking him with me twice a day on bike rides to a park about 1 mile away without tying him... he listens to commands like Stop, Slow Down, Come here, Go Slow, no dont pipi in that person's lawn, wait until we get to the park, let's race, etc....

He's very smart. But now it's too cold up here in Canada so I take him to parks but that doesnt last too long, I need to keep him busy during the time that Im home with him. He just sleeps half the day lol and stares at me the other half.

Well, not cold, but when your riding fast with a mountain bike the wind cuts into your ears and forehead, when I get to the park I start sweating a bit, than on the way back it's very easy to get sick. I just take him in my car and go to ta park now, or just walk him instead. I'll probably bring out the bike in April or something.

You could get a kong and stuff it, or one of those balls you put treats in and they have to nose it around to get them out, but he has to be food motivated. Lots of exercise before you leave will help too. Yoshi is kenneled all day and he doesn't seem bored with the amount of exercise he gets
