š§ļø Rainy days getting you down? Donāt let the weather stop you from having fun indoors! Here are our top 5 activities to keep your pup entertained and active when youād rather skip the cold, wet walk:
1ļøā£ FIND IT
How to play: Have your dog sit and stay while you hide some kibble, low-cal treats, or their favorite toy. Once theyāre in position, cue a release word like āgo,ā āOK,ā or āfind itā and let them search! Change up the hiding spots to keep things exciting. Try at least 3 rounds to tire them out mentally!
2ļøā£ TRAINING OPS
How to play: Check out YouTube or Google for new tricks or refresh your pupās current skills. Keep training sessions short (10-15 minutes) and always end on a positive note. Aim for 2-3 sessions a day to keep them engaged!
3ļøā£ PUZZLE TOYS
How to play: Get an interactive puzzle feeder or get crafty and make your own! Fill it with your dogās favorite treats and let them work to figure out how to get the goodies. Itās great mental exercise and keeps them occupied for a while!
4ļøā£ TUG-OF-WAR
How to play: Grab a rope or dog toy and have a friendly tug-of-war match! This game helps burn off energy and can help reinforcing impulse control. Let your dog win sometimes to keep it fun and balanced!
5ļøā£ INDOOR FETCH
How to play: No need for a big yard! If you have a hallway or spacious room, throw a soft ball or toy for a game of fetch. Keep it gentle and let your dog bring the toy back to you for a mini workout indoors.
š” Bonus: If your dogās still full of energy, mix and match these activities to keep things fresh!
