Welcome to Ask Anji!
This week’s question: How do I keep my dog mentally stimulated indoors?
Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise. It helps prevent boredom, builds confidence, and can even lead to a better-behaved dog!
Anji’s tips:
Food puzzles and enrichment toys like snuffle mats, stuffed Kongs, and treat-dispensing toys
Short training sessions — even 5 minutes of learning can go a long way
Scent games: hide treats or toys and let your dog forage and “hunt”
Rotate toys regularly to keep things fresh and exciting
