Walking replacements?

[ladybug1802]

As Dylan has broken one of his claws he needs to be 'kept quiet' for a week and not walked! Its OK at the moment as he is limping and feeling rather sorry for himself, but when he starts to feel better its going to be very hard for him as he is very active! I am going to do lots more clicker training, teaching him tricks etc, but was wondering what other things you could suggest for tiring him out mentally, seeing as he wont be able to be being tired physically?

This morning I have come into the office and left him at home with his breakfast split into his kong wobbler and his Nina Ottosen dog pyramid. I have also left him with a stuffed frozen kong, and a cardboard toilet roll, stuffed with paper, with a biscuit inside. He will only be left for this morning as am going to go home at lunch time and work at home for the rest of the day....but I hate even leaving him alone for 4 hours in the morning, especially when he hasnt had a good walk.

I'm sure others will be along soon with some good ideas, so I am just saying that a massage is almost as good as a walk

A massage is a great idea. I wish I had thought of that when Beau was recovering from knee surgery and had to be kept quiet. Beau & Luke love massages, especially Luke!!
Good luck with Dylan's healing process.
