Rainy Days Fun




Appropriate levels of exercise for your dog according to his age, breed and abilities are important for maintaining his physical and mental health. 

Whilst many dogs don’t enjoy going out in all this rain you may find that your dog will enjoy a bit of exercise in the wet if you keep it interesting!  My two love to play with the ball as you can see from the photos - a bit of water doesn’t bother them.

If, however, your dog can’t stand getting his feet wet there are things you can do indoors to keep his brain active - how about hiding some treats around the house for him to find or work on some obedience training with a fun game of tuggies as a reward when he’s doing well.

If you have problems keeping this sort of play appropriate, for example if your dog gets over excited and starts mouthing you or jumping up, then give me a call and we can work through some tips for making play time fun for everyone.
