Keep Your Dog Entertained Indoors With These 3 Games

If you have a dog, it spends most of its time outside. But what do you do when the weather doesn't cooperate? You don't want to leave your furry friend inside for days. It's essential to keep your pet occupied and entertained, especially if you spend a lot of time away from home. A bored dog is often destructive and noisy, so it's best to have fun activities ready. These five indoor dog games are great ways to keep the dog entertained without worrying about him running off or getting into trouble.

Hide And Seek

Hide and seek is a classic game that everyone can enjoy. You can play it with your dog the same way you would any other game, but there are some special considerations to keep in mind when playing this activity indoors.

You first need to consider the size of your living space. If you live in an apartment or house with only one room, then hide and seek may not be the best option for entertaining Fido without having him escape from confinement at some point during the game (which would ruin everything). If a spare bedroom or closet is available, then go for it!

It's also essential to make sure that all items around which Fido could potentially hide are secured before starting this exercise. Bookshelves full of heavy books are not safe hiding places; neither are tables or chairs stacked high with papers and other clutter. Your dog will likely knock them over while trying to find his comfortable spot away from prying eyes.

Stuffed Kongs

If your dog tends to chew on everything, KONGs are an ideal way to keep them entertained. KONGs come in various sizes and flavors and have a hollow center that can be stuffed with treats or peanut butter for added entertainment. This is also good for helping dogs who suffer from separation anxiety, as they'll be occupied with retrieving their food from the toy.

KONGs are available at most pet stores and come in a variety of sizes ranging from tiny (for small dogs) up to extra-large (for giant breeds). They're made from tough rubber that stands up well against damage caused by sharp teeth and claws over time—not only that, but they're dishwasher safe too!

Puzzle Toys 

Puzzle toys are great for dogs of all ages. They're also beneficial for bored or anxious dogs and can be used in many different ways. Some examples of puzzle toys are:

  • Kong Wobbler—This toy is shaped like a bowl, but it has a weight inside that causes it to wobble when it's placed on the floor. This motion attracts your dog's attention because they want to figure out how to get the food out!
  • Buster Cube—The Buster Cube has many holes that dispense treats when your dog rolls the cube around on its side. The more your dog rolls the cube around, the more treats they get!
  • Lickimat—The Lickimat is an interactive mat that encourages play between you and your pet by feeding them treats as they lick at different parts of its surface!

Conclusion

As you can see, dogs are just like people. They love to play games and have fun! You don't have to spend a lot of money on expensive toys because there is so much out there that will keep your dog entertained for hours on end. When it comes down to it, the best toy or game is one that keeps your dog happy and engaged while also being interactive with its human counterpart.
