| Anakin is having a his shy fit because I refuse to share his joy of playing in the rain. He's starting to get mischievous from lack of entertainment. He's also ignoring all his toys and refuses to be consoled. He's become a little divo what do you guys usually do on rainy days with restless husky |

| I just walk Saber in the rain. Whether it's drizzling or pouring. He wants to go so I take him. I've gotten drenched many times! |

| My girls don't like the rain and they're pretty lazy on rainy days. They usually entertain themselves if they do anything at all. |

| I take Kavik out rain or shine, I have to to keep up with potty training. Just have a towel ready when you come in so he doesn't track water everywhere! My last husky hated baths and the pool, but loved getting drenched in the rain.

| When my sibe was younger and had a lot more energy I used to walk him whether it was raining or not.
Now that he's older and content to relax a lot more I don't fret when we miss walks due to weather or whatever else keeps us in. _________________ |

| Ours get waked rain or shine (or epic snowstorm) on the weekends we dont as much mainly because we can let them in the backyard to play and we interact with them all day. But weekdays before and after work, no matter what they get walked.

| Even if you really don't want to go into the rain, the little guy still has to run! If you have a helper present, split some treats between you two and call him back and forth through the house. You can switch up where you are so he has to find you, or if that's too hard for him, just call him back and forth from the same spot. If you use a hallway, you can set up a small (no taller than the bottom of his chest) blockade that he can jump over too. Since he's such a tiny pup, that'll wear him down pretty well. |

| My dogs don't go out if it's raining or too cold for my liking, lol. But they know that they don't get to tell me when it's time to go walk, I let them know. With my health issues and my husband being military, I had to have them conditioned to where if I am sick for a week they just have to deal with the lack of exercise (like last week). |

| We walk the pups sometimes when it is rainy or cold. When the weather gets really bad for us humans I might schedule a day at daycare for them that really helps they get tired out and even tired the next day.
The day care we go to has the pups play 3 hours in the morning a rest time for 2 hours over lunch and play for another 2-3 hours in the afternoon. |

| Bodhi goes out rain or shine. 1 run and 2 walks. I do live in Oregon which means If I waited until it was not raining, we'd both be porkers.
Waterproof boots and a big golf umbrella help terrifically for walking. On runs, we both get soaked. |

| I live in Vancouver if I didn't take Varu out when it is raining he'd never leave the house. I just run him to the bathroom and attack him with a towel before he can shake off the water in the house.
I only have the one dog with a tiny yard so taking him for walks is more important than it is for others. |

| It's not the rain that bothers me lol, it's freezing rain and its raining up down left and right. He still managed to get me out of the house . I suppose the feeling in my fingers will come back :p. someday. he was delighted as I've ever seen him, prancing around in the rain and wind like it was the best thing in the world . He was much more content after going out for a little bit and has decided now that he has nearly frozen me he can finally curl up for a nap. |

| We walk unless it is lightening. Goretex shoes and pants are awesome. Sometime we got to petsmart and walk around. I'm not sure if you pup has all their shots to go out and about. |

| No which is why he's restricted to the back yard for play time at the moment and the front yard whenever he makes it that way. |
