Having a list of inside activities that you can do with your Golden Retriever can be a big help when the weather outside won’t allow for regular exercise. Goldens definitely need to run, play, release some energy, and stimulate their mind all of which can be accomplished through exercise. A common indoor activity is walking on the treadmill. There are treadmills made especially for dogs, but if you only have the people version ask your vet if it’s OK for your Golden to use it. Always start out slow and allow your dog to get used to the machine and its movements first. Playing fetch in a clear area indoors with a small, soft toy is another way to help your dog stay active. You can also use inside time to practice simple training exercises with your dog such as sit, stand, stay, roll over, and come. Ask your vet Natrona Heights, PA for more suggestions.
