Winter is here, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop for your pup! Keeping dogs mentally and physically enriched during the colder months is key to preventing boredom and boosting their happiness indoors.
Enrichment Toys: Toys that make your dog work for their food like feeder toys or snuffle mats, are perfect for keeping your dog engaged and working for their snacks.
Indoor Obstacle Course: Use cushions, blankets, and chairs to create a fun agility course. Great for burning off energy!
Scent Games: Hide treats around the house for a game of ‘find it!’ Taps into their natural sniffing instincts and keeps their nose busy.
Basic Training Refresher: Use winter days to brush up on commands or even learn new tricks. It’s great mental stimulation for dogs of all ages.
Leaf Fun: Kick up the leaves on your walk and allow your dog to play in them. They offer a wide variety of scents for your dog.
Even a few minutes of enrichment each day can make a big difference in your dog’s well-being during the colder months.
