When it is wet and muddy outside, I try to find a way for the dogs to get their exercise inside. I recently discovered that by strategically using a laser light, I can get them to loop the kitchen island! Over and over. Which is both entertaining and exercise. One of the benefits of lunging a horse is to get the sillies out and calm them before riding, especially for excitable horses (I’m not a horse trainer, this wisdom comes from others!) Turns out it works for dogs too. Here is a short video of my dogs running circles.
