Use the nose

Scatter feeding, treat trails, snuffle mats, and box searches can tire a dog without bad-weather risk.

Train tiny skills

Five minutes of recall games, settle practice, or trick training can be surprisingly satisfying.

Protect the habit

Keep the routine with a short toilet break if safe, then swap the main walk for indoor activity.

Bad-weather days are not failed walk days. They are adapt-the-plan days.

For today's local conditions, return to the dog walk forecast and adjust the surface and dog settings.
