Your post is timely! This has been our year of rain. Instead of putting Shiloh into her outdoor shelter after our morning walk, I've been bringing her inside. Being one of much fur, she quickly becomes one of much wet fur in the rain. I started giving her treats in a puzzle in the coat room to keep her brain engaged while her fur dries. Now, even on rainless days, she wants to come inside to get her treats! I will be mixing things up tomorrow to see if I can break her of her new habit! (Her "treats" are not actual treats but kibble I set aside when I feed her, so I don't overfeed her. Her weight is perfect. Her "wait" is not! :)
I am glad you found a solution for drying her off and doing enrichment at the same time! You could also do it outside on nice days if you wanted to and she enjoys it? That way she gets the best of both worlds!
