2 more indoor dog exercise tips:

1. Plan ahead of time - When there's a chance of bad weather approaching your area, be sure to take your Schnauzer out for lots of exercise before it hits. Go for a couple of more walks than usual, play outdoor games with your dog, or go to the dog park for the day.

2. Play Dates - How about dog play dates? Once the bad weather hits, other pet parents are faced with bored pets too. Why not invite one of your Schnauzer's doggy pals over so they can play with each other.
