I would also consider getting dog puzzles using their meals. Or learning some crate games. A lot of times mentally exhausting them is good in the winter too, because they get so bored.
I notice that Shelby is more “tired” from mental exercise than she is from physical exercise. We do nose work once a week and she is exhausted afterwards. She also prefers mental stimulation over physical. She will play ball or with other toys on occasion and only for a few minutes. But loves nosework.
