Things to do to entertain your dog inside during this weather
To entertain your dog indoors, you can engage them with interactive toys like puzzle feeders, practice obedience training, teach new tricks, play hide-and-seek, have a mini-indoor agility course, use stuffed chew toys with treats, play fetch with a soft ball, or engage in tug-of-war, making sure to rotate toys regularly to keep things interesting.
Key points to remember:
Mental stimulation:
Use puzzle toys or treat-dispensing balls to challenge your dog's mind while they work to get treats out.
Training and tricks:
Practice basic commands or teach new tricks to keep your dog focused and engaged.
Interactive play:
Play games like hide-and-seek, where you hide treats around the house for them to find.
Chew toys:
Provide appropriate chew toys to satisfy their natural chewing instincts.
Rotate toys:
Don't just rely on one or two toys; switch them up regularly to keep things exciting.
Specific indoor activities:
Stuffed Chew Toys: Fill a Chew Toy with peanut butter or soft cheese and freeze it for a long-lasting treat.
DIY puzzles: Create your own puzzles by hiding treats in boxes, empty containers, or rolled-up towels.
Indoor agility course: Use furniture like chairs, blankets, and pillows to create a mini obstacle course.
Scent work: Hide treats around the house and let your dog use their nose to find them.
Window watching: Let your dog watch the world go by from a window.
