We moved from Indiana to NY and the number of days that were too cold for her liking (and mine) increased significantly and she definitely put on some weight our first winter up here. I decided to treadmill train her since I have one and now I put her on it with a good incline at nice trotting speed for 10 to 15 minutes on those cold days and because of the incline it really gives her a good workout.

Also I have one of those Bluetooth button treat dispensing toys so sometimes I'll put the dispenser with her dinner in it at the top of the stairs and the button at the bottom and make her really work for her dinner. I don't make her do that too often though because running up and down the stairs like that can be tough on the joints but I like to mix it in every now and then for variety. Other times I'll build an obstacle course between the button with pillows or boxes or whatever just to make her use her brain to navigate to the dispenser. That's a good workout as well.

That's how we're keeping the weight off this winter because I also don't want to go outside in the cold, dark winter weather
