Rainy Day? Let's Play!

When the skies are crying and the park is a puddle, it’s time to unleash the indoor fun! Here are some tail-wagging activities to keep your pup entertained:

Recycle those boxes and bottles into canine puzzles! Hide treats in:


  • Cardboard boxes
  • Plastic bottles
  • Paper towel rolls
  • Egg cartons

Sniffari Adventures

Engage your dog’s nose with games like:

 

  • Shell Game: Hide a treat under one of three cups.
  • Which Hand?: Conceal a treat in one hand and let your dog guess.
  • Find-It: Hide treats around the house and let your pup seek them out.

These games provide mental stimulation and fun!

Training Time

Use this indoor time to teach or reinforce commands:

 

  • Practice “sit,” “stay,” or “roll over.”

Keep sessions short and positive for maximum enjoyment.

These toys keep your pup engaged and satisfied.

Dance Party!

Turn up the tunes and have a dance-off with your dog. It’s a fun way to bond and burn energy.

Tug-of-War

Grab a sturdy toy and have a friendly tug match. Remember to teach “drop it” for safe play.

Obstacle Course

Create a mini agility course using household items:

 

  • Cushions to jump over.
  • Chairs to weave through.
  • Blankets to crawl under.

It’s a great way to challenge your dog’s body and mind.

What’s in the Box?
