My Collie has had his bits done, how can I stimulate him?
Discussion
Firstly haha at the thread title, you're going to get reamed.
Have you taught him any tricks beyond sit/stay etc? They are so easy to teach/train and half an hour of working on them will help.
Another one is hide kibbles of food around the place then let him search them out, using his nose mentally stimulates them.

He's going nuts? Good one.
We find our dog gets tired from mental stimulation just as much as physical. On the odd occasion where we aren't able to give him his normal walk we play games indoors with him or do some training. Hide and seek is his favourite, I make him wait in the Kitchen and go and hide in a room with the lights off with a treat and call for him to find me. He is knackered after 20 mins of this, especially if I hide well and he is searching for a few minutes.
Your is probably young so do some training practice, teach him a new trick, improve his ball fetching inside etc.

I thought this thread was going in a very different direction when I saw the title tooHave you taught him any tricks beyond sit/stay etc? They are so easy to teach/train and half an hour of working on them will help.

Your vets won't be able to think outside the "correct" advice, also you dog won't just implode because it can't exercise. Give as much exercise as you can under control.....no jumping or and dashing to start but after 3-4-5 days the heaking will be well under way. So what is the worst that could happen? stitches break down needs redone. Hernia....big repair. Chews through stitches from boredom/irritation...needs redone. So, you chose, be dull and say no exercise for ages or be cool and get some under control? Think the possible issues of boredom outweigh exercise. When I had my only GA for stupid artery injury, I found out after the event that I shouldn't have driven for 4 days as I had 4hours of GA. No-one told me and it went fine. Everything is done with a view to litigation it seems....oh what if it goes wrong? If you have serious surgery then be careful, a b
h spay is more invasive than a castrate, be careful, keep control and don't be daft, climbing Scafell might not be so good but an hour of grass lane should be fine, if pooch says "I'm tired " then you have gone too far. Don't believe all the muppets tell you, but do believe the value of covid vaccination lol
