Ideas for Fun, Indoor Play for Your Dog
The cold temperatures this time of year can be cause for a case of cabin fever, not only for you but for your pup. As leading Littleton dog training experts, we often hear from pet owners who are looking for fun ideas for indoor play this time of year. If you’re facing the same dilemma, we encourage you to try a few of the following. We promise, both you and your pup will enjoy the break from the norm!
Lakewood Dog Training
One of the first things you should focus on is your Lakewood dog training. Working on a new skill? Take the time to work on it in the comfort of the living room. Carve out time daily to work on your pup’s skills indoors. By the time the weather warms, you will both be elated at the progress you’ve made.
Fetch
An old classic, fetch is a great way to tire your pup out and to have some fun in the process. It’s best to play fetch in an open hallway, basement or flight of stairs. This gives your pup a chance to stretch their legs as they chase their target.
Tug of War
Another classic game to play with your dog, tug of war can be an exercise for you both. Be sure to select a space with plenty of room. Use a rope or a toy designed specifically for tug of war. Allow your pup to use this activity to get out their energy and simply enjoy time with you.
Obstacle Course
At Sit Means Sit, this is one of our favorite indoor activities as it combines playtime with agility skills practice. You can set up an obstacle course with items you have around your house such a pillows, ottomans and small tables. This is likely to quickly become one of your favorite activities, regardless of the outdoor temperatures. When ready to graduate to new challenges, consider investing in obstacle course equipment.
