A little background -
Tessa had shoulder and elbow surgery about 2 weeks ago and will be in rehab for about another 12 weeks. I need to find games that do not require a lot of physical activity to play with her. She is limited on walking and there is absolutely no running or jumping allowed and I don't want that wonderful brain of hers turning to mush.
I have started playing a scent game with her using socks (putting food in one and asking her to find the sock for me) and the PT suggested teaching her to backup onto a box to make her more aware of her rear end. This will exercise her hindquarters for her w/o putting stress on the shoulders.
Do any of you have any suggestions for other ways to keep her mentally busy with out physical stress to the shoulders?
Thanks in advance for the suggestions!
