How do you channel your dog's energy when you can't go outside?

Channel Weave Poles, of course. 

I constructed this set of training weave poles out of PVC pipe and placed it in the hallway. Bayley and I run up and down the hall umpteen times a day. We gradually bring the uprights closer in line until they are completely straight. Having fun so far.

Very nice. I've also built some pieces for our dog park. I see you have a tunnel. Envious. I'm always looking for something I could use as a tunnel

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Great idea. Very creative!!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Wow, very talented. What a great idea for inside play.

This might be fun to try! I'm going to give it a shot some day.

I don't know.  that seems kind of mean and like they were just teasing the dog (you could hear them laughing in the background).  I think it is ok the let a dog chase after something that they actually have a chance of catching but I think this would just be frustrating for the dog. 

[Itims]

Thats true. Hopefully they had some kind of
