What to do now that it's dark and cold? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

After a day of work, I liked taking my dog to the park to play with the other dogs, have fun and burn off some energy.

But now it's getting cold, and by the time I make it to the park, it's dark.

What do u guys do? Are there any places dogs can get together and run around indoors?

I know there are doggie day camps, but i'm looking for something free.

I am going to start taking Mickey to Biscuits and Bath - they have 7 locations in NYC. They have a free small dog play group every monday evening. I have heard great things about it, but have never been. Think I am going to go this Monday for the first time. They have a huge indoor area for the dogs to play together.

Every Monday from 7pm - 8pm

Have you thought of maybe trying to set up an evening play date? You could take turns hosting it at different people's houses. I don't know about you, but Louie gets worn out playing with other dogs. Just a thought.

Mine have free reign of the house, so they get a lot of exercise. Also, I'm in Florida so we can still get out a lot.

My dogs also have use of most of the house and on really rainy/snowy days they like to run up and down the stairs and they get the " zoomies " a lot. LOL
