Training with dysplasia

I have an almost 15 month old GS male. I have posted about him a few times before. I went to the vet today and he was diagnosed with right hip dysplasia and a fracture in his left pelvic bone. My doc said I have 3 weeks to do the sx on the hip b/c of his age/size/severity. He has been very sick on and off since I have had him at 6 months old.
(btw his mange finally cleared YAH!!!)

I haven’t been able to properly train him due to his health. I just started obedience training (and agility) and we have to stop due to his upcoming sx and he will have to be crated for up to a month after. My question is what do you recommend in the mean time? He hasn’t been totally socialized with other people/animals due to his health and I am worried with him going under in a few weeks that I will of course be forced to delay his training even longer… any ideas on what I can do with him in the mean time and after? (he can’t jump, run, or walk far)

He is 110lbs LEAN
