Re: long week....
You can use the time to develop his nose outside the under-the-cup treat. Mine loves object searches as much as searching for food. (He downs when he finds the object; he was first taught to tap with his paw, but when I started placing things in high places or deep inside something, I replaced it with a down.)
It uses mental and physical energies. I plan mine out to keep the momentum going once we start. He finds it truly satisfying when we do big time blocks of it.

Though I can only hope to become the person who my animals believe I am, the things that they have taught me have made me a better human being. ~~~Sharon~~~

We are a family of rescues, (yeah, me included), in Southern California. My wife and I currently have two dogs, a Golden Retriever/ GSD mix by the name of Morgan, and our DS mix(?), Dinga Roo. We had never even heard of a Dutch Shepherd before until we were stalked by this nice lady in the pet store who asked us if Roo was a DS. Dang if that lady wasn't on to something. I just found this site, so here we are....

Poor dude. I agree with the long walks and brain exercises.
Good time for training to keep him occupied.
