Bentley is on limited exercise right now. He has an Upper Respiratory Infection and coughs/hacks/chokes anytime he gets too excited or too hyper. Needless to say, he is used to two 1.5 mile walks per day AND usually 1-2 hours at the dog park in the afternoons. Not to mention all the backyard time and play time he wants. All of that has been cut down to just quick potty walks and limited backyard time until he gets better.
I need some suggestions on how to keep him busy WITHOUT being too active or going anywhere (he is still contagious to other dogs). I can tell he is bored out of his mind and I feel so bad for him. He's definitely a dog that needs daily exercise so I'm hoping he gets better soon. But in the meantime, we need to do something.
We've been doing some training, but with the limited activity, there's not many "calm" things to learn.
Did I mention that is he driving me absolutely bonkers with his squeak toys? He will bring them to me and then just sit there and SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK to try to get me to throw it and play with him! :frusty:
