Your dog, just like any human, can get bored of sitting at home with nothing to do. It’s understandable; you’re busy with the activities of daily life – going to school, to work, to meet your friends, and to eat out. However, during this time, your dog is home for the better part of all day and waits for some more playtime with his owner.
Dogs are energetic creatures, and if they don’t have an outlet to let their energy out, they tend to get depressed or lonely. You don’t want your little fur boy to feel sad and ignored, do you? As a dog parent, one of your primary responsibilities is to keep your dog entertained and healthy. It might seem like a chore when you are tired already, but keeping your dog happy and entertained isn’t hard at all. You don’t even need a lot of dog training to engage in these activities. Here are some things you and your dog can do together that are sure to keep him amused all day.
Interactive Dog Feeders and Toys
You can invest in interactive dog feeders and toys that can keep your dog busy even while you are not home. Dog feeders like these make the dog solve a puzzle before dispensing food for him. This makes the dog work his brain to fill his stomach and provides the mental stimulation that a dog should be getting from time to time. Many such toys also help to keep dogs entertained at home.
Changing Walking Tracks
Walking your dog is a daily routine. As good as it is for your dog, it is equally good for you to get some exercise. Enjoy the walk by switching up your tracks once every few weeks, so you both have a new place to explore and new people to meet along the way.
Play Fetch with your Dog
A simple, quick game of fetch can be enough to make your dog’s day. Go out with your dog into the lawn and play with him for a while, spend quality time with him and shower him with some love. Playtime doesn’t need to be long to be healthy.
Sign up For a Dog Sport
Sign your dog up a dog sport. Over the weekend, you both can go and spend some time playing intense sports with other dogs and dog parents. The sport can help make both you and your dog get fitter and happier.
Group Dog Training
If you don’t have the time for it yourself, you can make your dog join a group dog training place, where your dog will get consistent dog training as well as make more doggie friends. Group dog training sessions will help your dog socialize more and become a more obedient boy.
KC Dawgz provides group dog training, as well as private dog training, with professional trainers. If this seems like something your dog will enjoy, call KC Dawgz at (913)-217-7288 and book your dog space in the group.
