Is there any exercises or conscious things you can do to reduce foot shuffling?
My Dad is not on medication yet but I notice he has started shuffling lately.

YES indeed but this you cannot do for him. Sometimes the slower we go the faster we try but perhaps a little aikido methodology is in order here...have him
slow down even if its to where he barely moves - make it a walking meditation. google "chi walking" you tube videos to engage his core muscles .

Caregiving without support can be really taxing - take some time for your self.
