Does this dog look happy?
This is my dog Strega. She’s bored. We’ve heard that phrase our whole lives from children, friends and family. Heck, I’m guilty of saying it myself! So, how do you know if you’re dog is bored? What are your options when you know you don’t spend enough time with your dog but you don’t have any more time to give during the day?
Here are a few signs that your dog might be bored:
- destructive chewing
- digging holes in your yard
- repetitive behaviors
- excessive barking
What to DO about it? Sure, you could leave the tv on all day but that’s not really going to do the trick. Dogs, like people, need to be challenged to use their brains. They need to learn!
The School for Dogs is a perfect option for you and your pup. You drop off your dog on your way to work. We spend the day playing, training, relaxing and walking with your dog. They learn tricks as well as basic obedience. They get to walk around and practice leash skills and smell the world around them!
At home you can provide interactive challenging toys like a stuffed Kong or puzzle toy filled with treats. It’s amazing how rewarding these simple toys are to dogs.
Check out the School for Dogs and let us train and play with your dog. They’ll thank you!
