Enrichment for your dog
Enrichment for your dog
Here are some great ideas for providing enrichment for your dog.
Frozen bones and always make sure the bones are RAW.
Kong toy with treats stuffed really tight inside so it takes longer for your pet to get them out.
Puzzle balls, again putting treats in tightly so they take longer to get them out.
Scatter treats around the yard.....treats around the yard will keep your dogs mind occupied and also really take their mind off you leaving the house.
Hang rope toys around the place with peanut butter, vegemite (australian product), cheese spread, sticking liver treats to it and every time your dog tries to get the treats off the rope toy, it moves around!
Hide treats, bones, pig ears, veggie ears around the garden so your dog has to forage for them.
Veggie ears are SO great for enrichment for your dog, they are low in fat and every dog we've ever given them they love them!
Enrichment for your dog is so important. Really put some thought into what you can give your dog or puppy especially when you leave the house so that their mind is occupied, they get a treat, is great for their teeth and most of all after a full belly, they go to sleep for a while.
Enjoy making enrichment for your dog.

Hi,
I completely agree, dogs must have an occupation when alone at home. I usually leave the toys (especially chew toys) so my dog can play at will, and also leave the radio on. This might seem strange, but helped my dog have some sort of companion (the radio) when I'm not at home with him. He's a lot calmer now, I guess it's because he listens to sounds all day long (volume very low) and chews through all his toys. He's a pit bull, if it wasn't for nylabone bones I would be lost :).
Best regards,

Hi
Yes I agree it is sooooo importaint to make sure your dog is entertained at home when your not able to do all the entertaining yourself.
This helps keep your dog's mind active and helps to keep the neighbours happy as an unhappy dog upests everyone.
If you don't have some good ideas for treats and toys at Paddington Pups we stock all of the above mentioned Dog Toys and Dog Treats as well we offer Doggy Daycare for those days that you just can't get to walk them yourself.
If you are offering your dog exercise, entertainment, treats and mental stimulation and you are still having training issues then I can not recommend enough that you get some great training with an expert Dog Behaviour Specilist Like Nicola.
