As the school year approaches and routines change, your dog may find themselves with more alone time. At Wagler Kennels, we understand the importance of keeping your pup entertained and happy. Here are ten tips to ensure your dog stays engaged and stimulated as the family gets busy with back-to-school activities.
- Interactive Toys
Invest in interactive toys that challenge your dog’s mind. Puzzle toys, treat-dispensing toys, and toys with hidden compartments can keep your dog entertained for hours. - Regular Exercise
Make sure your dog gets plenty of physical exercise. Morning and evening walks, playtime in the yard, and fetch sessions are great ways to burn off energy and keep your dog fit. - Training Sessions
Incorporate short training sessions into your daily routine. Teaching new tricks or reinforcing existing commands not only stimulates your dog’s mind but also strengthens your bond. - Doggie Daycare
Consider enrolling your dog in a doggie daycare program. It’s a great way for your pup to socialize, play, and stay active while you’re away. - Create a Safe Space
Designate a comfortable and secure area in your home where your dog can relax. Include their favorite bed, toys, and a piece of your clothing for comfort. - Frozen Treats
Prepare frozen treats using dog-friendly ingredients like yogurt, peanut butter, and fruits. These can keep your dog occupied and cool, especially on warm days. - Rotating Toys
Keep your dog’s interest by rotating their toys regularly. Introduce new toys and hide old ones to be reintroduced later. This keeps their playtime fresh and exciting. - Pet Cameras
Use pet cameras to monitor your dog while you’re away. Some cameras have interactive features like treat dispensers and two-way audio, allowing you to engage with your dog remotely. - Play Dates
Arrange play dates with other dogs. Social interactions are essential for your dog’s mental and emotional well-being. Plus, it’s a fun way for them to expend energy. - Enrichment Activities
Incorporate enrichment activities like scent games, agility courses, and hide-and-seek. These activities stimulate your dog’s senses and provide mental challenges.
