Any creative ideas on how to exercise your dog in the summer heat?

[Cathy w/Shiloh~Cody]

I live in Florida and its VERY hot and humid. We are seeing 95 degree days and 85

degree nights, it's sooooooo uncomfortable. Any ideas for taking energy off of dog indoors?

I walk him early morning and late night but that is not enough for my doodle. I play

fetch for awhile, anything I am missing?

We do mostly Lowes, but have been to Home Depot as well.  We spend a lot of time at Lowes.  We have been to just about everyone in Southern Ohio and one in Northern KY.  There are many of the associates that know them by name.  There is also a Discussion on here on places to shop with your doodles.

If you have a treadmill, it's a great way to release some doodle energy on days we can't go outside!   Zsusie was a lil hesitant at first, but it grew on her very quickly! (Cesar Millan has some good tips on how to get them used to it)  Sometimes I'll even come into the room and she'll be standing on it rearing to go for a jog. HaHa.  Swimming is also tons of fun, and very refreshing!

Kelly-that is a great idea. I do not have one presently, but will look into getting one.

That would be good during our rainy season and the hot hot summer

We are dealing with the same thing in Georgia, close to 100 degree temps during the day, and no shade anywhere around our house. Scarlett has so much puppy energy and is exhibiting bad nipping behavior, especially outside. Inside, she has a short attention span with toys unless they are kongs.
