Don't be a baby.......I just got back from hiking with my dog through deep snow up to my arthritic knees with sleet and wind on my arthritic back. Now put on your boots and get out in that slush and mud with your dog. : )

Tug o' war, wrestling, running around the house are all obvious answers. Does she respond well to laser pointers or flashlights? It is cute to watch them chase after it when you shine it down a hallway. If you have a staircase, you can walk up and down them with the dog. Just be careful that the dog does not run up too quickly or hurt themselves. Too bad they do not have indoor parks because there is not too much to do on a nasty day!

If your dog likes to play then try gently wrestling with her. Puppies play a game at a young age in which they pin each other down repeatedly. Normally they get excited and run around and then come back to play again. Then when she is done you can rub her belly to calm her.

get her favorite treat and a string when dhe goes for it pull it away then let her get close to getting it and pull it away. you can relax while she is getting tortured lol but if she loses motivation or gets on to the trick fill up the bath tub and let her swim if she can or set a treasure hunt and like stash a whole bunch of treats around the house she will get a good run and get really hyper sorry bout the weather!have fun!

Play with your dog!
play with it's favorite toys, tug of war, chewy toys, any thing, have the dog do some tricks for treats. You could do anything if you wanted to. = )
If you have a big house, take your dog for a walk inside a couple of times.
Have fun! = )

I use a treadmill for mine when the weather is bad. You can get one for around 200 bucks at Walmart. It takes some time to train them how to do it, but don't give up!! I also will stand at the top of the stairs and and play fetch.

Well here they always have the sidewalks and trails at the metro parks cleared, so maybe you can check into that, as long as it not dirt or anything you should be fine.

Have a little inside toy for you and her to play with. Through it down the hall and have her retrieve it. You can also wrestle with her.

you can have her run up and down stairs for a while, or you can get a tredmill! i have one for both my dogs and myself, and it works great! they get all the exercize they need without going into the mucky outdoors.
