2 Fun Games To Keep Your Dog Busy While Staying Home
Treasure Hunt
This can be done by taking some of your dog’s treats and dispersing them in places like different rooms or spots throughout the house. If you want to keep it simple, you can limit it to one room for the first couple of times. You will then call their name, put one of the treats in plain sight and practice using the desired command that signals them to find the “treasures.” Let them find that treat that’s in plain sight and gradually increase the level of difficulty.
Hide & Seek
You will start by having your dog sit and stay, or you can have a friend or family member hold them. While your dog is sitting or being held, find a good hiding spot to hide. When you’re ready, call your dog to come and find you. It shouldn’t take too long for them to find you since their sense of smell is super. But if they are puzzled you can keep calling their name to encourage them to keep seeking. Reward them once they discover you.
