  1. Keeping Your Dog Engaged During Lockdown

Keeping Your Dog Engaged During Lockdown

Keeping Your Dog Engaged During Lockdown

Gina Brugna
May 8, 2020


Are you and your fur-ball feeling a bit cooped up? Fear not! We've got a stash of tail-wagging, paw-tapping ideas to inject some excitement into your days—all while keeping it safe and socially distant.


🐶 Play Tug of War:

Kick off the action with a classic game of tug of war. Not only does it give your pet a physical workout, but it also strengthens the bond between you two. The best part? You can transform your living room into a battleground for fun, all while maintaining your social distance groove.


🎓 Train Your Dog:

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Now's the perfect time to unleash your pet's inner genius. Teaching them a new skill not only stimulates their minds but gives you a break from the everyday routine. Imagine the joy of having a dog that cleans up its own toys—pure magic!


🏃‍♂️ Activity Course:

For the DIY enthusiast, why not construct an epic obstacle course? Loops, jumps, and homemade pathways—it's like a ninja warrior challenge for your four-legged pal. Get those creative juices flowing and watch your pet conquer the ultimate adventure.


🕵️ Hide the Biscuit:

Turn snack time into a treasure hunt! Hide your pet's favorite treat, and let the search begin. It's a creative bonding activity that rewards good behavior with a tasty surprise at the end. A win-win for both of you!


🎾 Fetch!

A timeless favorite, a game of fetch covers all the bases. Whether you're indoors with a lightweight ball or frolicking in a private yard, this activity guarantees tail-wagging, heart-pounding joy. Ready, set, fetch!


🧹 Put Your Dog to Work:

Why not turn your pet into a helpful household assistant? Train them to fetch slippers or even snag you a refreshing beverage from the fridge. Just tie a towel to the door handle, and voilà—an instant furry helper!


🚶‍♀️Go For a Local Walk:

Venture out with your pet while keeping the social distancing vibes strong. Choose a less-traveled route, and enjoy a scenic walk or jog. Breathe in the fresh air, soak up some vitamin D, and let your furry friend explore the great outdoors safely. So, there you have it—your ticket to a pet-friendly adventure during these unique times. Get those creative gears turning, stay active, and most importantly, have a blast with your four-legged friend!


Paws and Smiles,
