Hunting Dog in the City
Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2023 9:20 am
Hi everyone, I was previously on this forum but could not get my account back as I didn’t have the email I used.
I have a 4y/o GSP that is still very energetic and wired to go. I have been traveling for work for the last year with periods of being home, and will now be sent out to the central ND area and am going to take the dog with me instead of leaving him home. The thing I’m wondering is what do those of you that live in a city with a hunting dog do to let them get their exercise when not hunting? I’ll be in Bismarck and it’s a fairly large city and not supposed to have dogs off leash when not in a dog park basically. I know I can let him run at the dog park if needed but don’t exactly prefer them for many reasons. Back home I can just let him out the front door and let him run around as long as he wants multiple times a day and he gets plenty of exercise that way but can’t do that in the city.
I already have someone lined up to be letting him out midday as I will be working long days and don’t want him in a crate that long so hopefully I can find a good solution to letting him run until hunting season.
