Rainy Days Make Me Happy!

I remember as a child in school looking forward to rainy days as it meant recess was cancelled and we were allowed to play fun games in class. Remember “Heads Up Seven Up?” Your dog may miss out on their daily walk on those rainy days but they can be just as enthused as me in grade school.

Here are some things you can do with your dog indoors, when exercising outdoors isn’t an option:

1.

Mentally stimulating games and toys can be tiring for your dog, even as much as a walk around the neighborhood! So exercise their brain by pulling out a food stuffable or dispensing toy. Get a doggy puzzle and fill it with their favorite treats too!  One of Stella’s favorites is the Tricky Treat Ball!

2.

Try playing a scent game or two with your dog! Get them on the hunt by hiding yummy goodness all around the house. When they find it, celebrate with them! “Go Find It” games are fun, and tiring.

3.

If you have the room and it’s safe to do so play a little fetch indoors.

4.

Give your dog a long lasting chew like a Bully Stick or Kong.   They’ll love you for it!
