We are so excited to share with you our updates from February.

Top Tips for Keeping Your Dog Entertained

 

Interactive Toys & Puzzle Games 🧩

Invest in treat-dispensing toys or puzzle feeders to challenge your dog mentally and keep them engaged. KONG toys stuffed with treats or peanut butter can provide hours of fun!

Training & Trick Sessions 🎓

Teach your dog new tricks or reinforce basic commands. Short, positive reinforcement training sessions keep their mind active and strengthen your bond.

Scent Work & Hide-and-Seek 👃

Dogs love using their noses! Hide treats or toys around the house and encourage your pup to sniff them out. This taps into their natural instincts and provides mental stimulation.

Regular Exercise & Playtime 🚶‍♂️

Take your dog on varied walks, let them explore new environments, or play fetch in the park. Different terrains and smells keep things exciting!

Socialisation & Playdates 🐕‍🦺

Arrange doggy playdates or visit a dog park to help your pup socialize and burn off energy. Interaction with other dogs keeps them happy and well-adjusted.
