5 things to do daily with your dog

✋🏽 5 things that we can include in our dogs daily life to help them feel fulfilled and content!

What makes you overall feel content and happy?

Its not JUST exercise, social, rest, learning, work etc.
Either of those things alone, or too much of one is not going to satisfy all of our needs!

It’s the same for our dogs!
We can get caught up in focusing on exercising the dog endlessly at the dog park, or walking the dog around the block each day. I even hear a lot of “After an hour at the dog park, they still come home with lots of energy”.

🫀 Think back to school - a maths class was much more exhausting than lunch time!

It looks like a lot, but it doesn’t have to be!

You can Incorporate a lot of these things into every day activities that we already do with our dogs

🍖 We all feed our dogs every day - so why not feed them through a form of enrichment and meet those species specific needs.

🏋🏽‍♂️ We already exercise our dogs - so instead of standing for an hour at the dog park why don’t we take them on a long line to a on-lead only park and play a game of tug or flirt pole and practise rules around that

💤 We all have our dogs at home with us - so why not use that time to give them a nice area where they learn to switch off and rest (and practise independence)

With those three things alone, you have just ticked off all 5 to thrive for the day!
