THANK YOU Thanks for taking the time to download, 5 Ways To Relieve Dog's Boredom. Is your dog bored? Just like humans our dogs can also feel stress, boredom and anxiety from having their routine disrupted or by staying home for prolonged period of time. When a dog is bored, unwanted behaviours like excessive barking, chewing or anxiety may appear. Using different toys and other strategies are a great way to help keep your dog entertained and hopefully promote a happier and healthier dog.

Enjoy your 5-step guide!

5 WAYS TO RELIEVE DOGGIE BOREDOM DURING LOCKDOWN 5 WAYS TO RELIEVE YOUR DOG' S BOREDOM

The first way to decrease boredom in your dog is by using a slow feeder. A slow feeder functions by slowing down your dog during mealtime which slows the ingestion of food and the dog swallows less air. It also encourages your dog to problem - solve while eating which mimics your dog ' s natural behaviours. In addition to slow feeders you could also use a Snuffle Mat . They are super fun and relatively easy, snuffle mats are made from materials like fleece or felt and secured to a sturdy base with lots of folds. It encourages foraging and finding, which dogs absolutely love!

5 WAYS TO RELIEVE Y0UR DOG'S BOREDOM

Walking is a great way to get you and your dog moving. Where and when possible, find new paths and trails to explore, keeping it fresh and exciting for you and your pup. Did you know, a slow sniff walk is a great form of mental enrichment for your dog? A slow sniff walk can mentally tire your dog and they will generally be more relaxed and are less likely to exhibit destructive behaviour while at home. So the next time you head outside instead of going the usual way, pick a new direction and watch the joy your dog finds in sniffing all the new scents. .

You can also use a KONG toy. One of the most widely used enrichment dog toys currently available. Great for all stages of a dog ’ s life from a puppy through to a senior. Made from durable natural rubber it is specially designed to bounce and known for it ’ s durability. Non - toxic, non - abrasive and will not become splintered or have sharp edges when chewed. We currently have two KONG ' s in rotation for Gus and they form part of his dinner routine. KONG ' s are great to use with wet or solid foods and can be placed in the freezer to provide more of a challenge for your dog. The more enrichment options you provide for your dog will hopefully discourage inappropriate or destructive behaviour which can be so common during prolonged periods of routine disruption.

A great way to have fun with your dog is with a homemade agility course. There are so many ways to create agility obstacles around the house. If you have a kids tunnel they have outgrown this could be a great way to repurpose and have your dog use the tunnel as an obstacle. A cardboard box also could make a great obstacle by removing the bottom and encouraging your dog to go through it. If you have a spare curtain rod and a laundry basket you ’ ve just created another obstacle for your dog to jump over. Have an old hula hoop or a pool noodle laying around? When you begin training your dog, hold the item to the appropriate height and encourage your dog to jump through. Ensure whatever you are using will not injure your pup if they are unable make the jump.
