Wintertime means spending more time indoors. While you may have a number of things to keep you occupied until the snow goes away, you may be worried about how your pup will cope with being cooped up inside the house. But don’t fret!
Outdoor adventures may be off the table for now, but there are plenty of indoor activities to keep your dog from bouncing off the walls. Here are five furbulous indoor winter games for dogs that your furbaby will love!
PupPod is an interactive dog game that’s designed to keep your pooch from getting bored when you’re at work. But it’s also great for keeping them active and entertained when you’re both stuck at home on heavy snow days!
The three main components of this high-tech game are: the PupPod Rocker, a puzzle toy equipped with lights and sounds; the PupPod Feeder, a video-enabled treat dispenser that rewards your dog when they interact with the Rocker at the correct time; and the PupPod mobile app, which you use to control the game and keep an eye on your dog from anywhere.
How to set up:
If you have a nice, open space in your home, then indoor fetch is a good way to help your pup blow off steam during the winter. Older dogs can enjoy this game too—just keep it low-impact by rolling the ball instead of throwing it. Fetch isn’t a skill that comes naturally to all canines, but you can definitely teach your dog how to do it.
How to set up:
Your dog can learn and practice “barkour” skills with an indoor obstacle course. For this game, you don’t need a lot of space and you can use everyday objects you already have around the house. Best of all, you can design the course to suit your pup’s skill level and preferences!
How to set up:
Hide-and-seek is a puptastic way to exercise your dog and bond with them at the same time. Ideally, they should already know how to sit, stay, and come. But you can also play this game with a dog who doesn’t have these commands down yet if you have an assistant.
How to play:
Being stuck indoors is the perfect time to do some winter cleaning. Make it more fun by getting your pooch to join you and turning it into a game! Teaching your four-legged friend to put away their toys not only makes for a tidier home, but it also keeps them mentally stimulated. To play this game, your dog must already know the “take it” and “drop it” commands.
