Terra,
Maybe you should take them for walks. I know that they might not be athletic dogs, but I walk Thunder at least 3 times a day for about 10 minutes. He loves it, it helps with his potty training (he smells the other dogs' pee and it makes him want to pee there), and, it also helps with my depression and stress/anxiety. I have been on anti-depressants for about 5 years now, and I am only 25 years old. It has been tough, I tried to get off them, but I just snowballed and got worse. Basically, what I'm trying to say is this: 1-The walks would probably help you get some air and exercise, 2-The dogs would be able to smell the outside pees and MAYBE want to pee there and 3-It would maybe help you create a schedule with them... you know, walk, sleep, pee, playtime and repeat.
Hope this helps!!! |
