I have a couple of Dalmatians. We do a ton of walking and playing in the backyard.

I feel bad for them this week. I know they are going stir crazy after getting a foot of snow. We don’t mind playing in the snow, but the temperature has been bitterly cold.

How do you exercise your high energy dogs when stuck at home?

Treadmills can be very dangerous for dogs, though. So do your research first.
