A bit of mental simulation helps tire them out. Omar won't walk in heavy rain so on those days we do some treat hide and seek, hide and seek recall with a reward and he loves chasing a flirt pole. Nothing like emptying the tank running around in a large open space it seems to take the edge off and you can combine the games with training. Out on the walks stopping and letting her sniff anything she's interested in on your way round can help when mileage isn't an option.
