She will respond to some commands; but has to be on a leash when outside as she will run. I live in Oregon and lots of rain. It's summer now and no problem with her walks... She loves them. Since she is 8 years old and was raised by a Breeder, and kept in a small area, if she refuses to go out in the rain, and since I'm a senior myself, is there anyway I can get her to go for walks? My sprinkler system went off this morning and she went back to bed !

If given the chance to play ...I think you're right. If given the chance to play in the snow, almost all dogs love it immediately. And you're right about the "sniff" factor. This is one reason some dogs take longer to pee after it snows OR rains. There's little left, scentwise, to pee on top of!<BR/><BR/>LCKLCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182376640295763312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164371574062741084.post-74563949845130535332009-02-11T06:15:00.000-08:002009-02-11T06:15:00.000-08:00Butters loves the snow.

Used to not like the rain but now realises he gets to be blow dried after a walk in the rain so now he is all for it.<BR/><BR/>It sound though like we need help in getting our dogs to come IN from the snow. But likes to open his mouth and scoop up the snow along the ground as he runs. <BR/><BR/>I think one reason for dogs loving the snow is that all smells are erased, and only a few recent smells are present. Makes identifying and following them so much easier and more fun.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention the sled dog practice they can get in.

Interesting post! Summer adored the snow (...Hi Lee! Interesting post! Summer adored the snow (sadly, now we're in Singapore, no more snow....) as did I. She would go nuts in the snow - playbowing, running zoomies, leaping at me, biting my puffy coat arm. The whole nine yards. Rain? Not so much. Out come the flying nun ears (sticking sideways out, parallel to the ground) that indicate she's not happy or she's nervous. But you know what's interesting? When it's raining and we're in the park offleash, she actually looks desperate for some release or some way to forget that it's raining - she is actually MORE interested in the ball when it's raining. <BR/><BR/>Just as an aside, things are going well in Singapore - she's out of quarantine FINALLY, and we're out on shorter walks because it's so hot - but it still doesn't stop her from zooming! We hit a large empty field daily and I let her loose, and she does her crazy playbowey thing and zoomie thing, and takes flying leaps over large drains and gallops around. Nice to see her doing that despite the lack of snow... Hope you are keeping warm in the wretched winter... <BR/><BR/>Angela, one of Summer's best friends in brooklyn is a RR who HATES any sort of inclement or extreme weather! She's so low drive it's not even funny. In fact the only dog she plays with excitedly is Summer! Any other dog comes around, she goes, MEH.summerinbrooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287356609087247706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164371574062741084.post-83766271557510761572009-02-04T17:15:00.000-08:002009-02-04T17:15:00.000-08:00Same here.

Same with the snow. She would just go out in the backyard, and lay around chewing a stick or a bone she took outside with her.<BR/><BR/>We used to live in Michigan, and would go to the park every day, no matter what. So they never had a problem with the cold or snow. In fact, they totally love the snow. If they see it snowing outside through the window, they start doing zoomies around the house, wanting to go out and play in it. Really funny. Even when it was close to zero degrees, and it was pitch black and snowing, we'd still go to the park so they could all get in some good play time. Even if it was only for 15 minutes. People thought we were crazy, but hey, the dogs loved it, so we did too:) <BR/><BR/>The image of Mack trotting off to go home made me laugh. I know it was a dangerous situation, but at the same time it must have looked kind of funny too when he gave you that look over the shoulder:)Sang Kohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10830622992309114927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164371574062741084.post-388733609669699392009-02-01T08:26:00.000-08:002009-02-01T08:26:00.000-08:00I am lucky that my current dogs are 'all weather' ...I am lucky that my current dogs are 'all weather' dogs. Maybe it has to do with the fact we have no yard and go out 4 times a day, no matter what. We go hiking in rain storms and they don't seem to mind. Could it have something to do with breed? I would imagine a Rhodesian Ridgeback, for example, might not like a Nebraskan winter too much!<BR/><BR/> I took my two to the snow (we live in SF, not a lot of snow here!) last year and they were in heaven! They had such a good time, I felt guilty for not living somewhere with a proper winter.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221051482886629064noreply@blogger.com
