1. Create a special dog zone for your pet with a few safe toys, treats, and comforting items. 2. Chews are a good bet. 3. Splurge on extra-cosy dog beds. 4. Leave the radio or TV on when you go out. 5. Shut the blinds on the busy side of your house and leave them open on the quiet side for some wildlife viewing. 6. Leaving on a fan or a white noise machine can also help cover up other noises, which can help reduce barking. 7. A pet cam can be helpful and fun. 8. Pro tip: rotate toys in and out to keep things fresh and interesting. 9. Exercise your dog before you leave for the day with a vigorous walk or a game of fetch. 10. Mental exercise can wear your dog out, too.

We reached out to our AnimalKind accredited trainers for some easy activities you can do with your dog to help keep them busy and prevent boredom. A snuffle mat is a handmade treat toy that gives dogs the fun and time-consuming opportunity to sniff and search for hidden treats. You can get snuffle mats at pet supply stores, but if you are up for a fun project, follow the instructions in the DIY snuffle mat activity. Rotating toys is a practice that will bring excitement to your dog every time a “new” toy is rediscovered. Try hiding your dog’s toys around the house in different, dog-accessible locations and teach your dog to “find it”. Fulfilling sniffing is the term used by AnimalKind dog trainer Allison Schaefer of Ethical Canine. The idea behind scent games is using your dog’s natural sniffing skills in a playful way. We teach our dogs tricks for so many reasons, mainly so that they have something to do with their energy, but also as a bonding exercise.

Fill a KONG toy with frozen treats. KONGs are a great way to keep your dog busy — sometimes for hours — by channeling their “need to chew” productively through a toy instead of your sofa. Hide snacks around the house. Before you leave, scatter some kibble or a few of their favorite treats throughout the house. Turn on the TV. Leave their breakfast in a snuffle mat. Hire a dog walker. Keep a steady rotation of toys in the home. Instead of leaving your pet with all of their toys every day, try rotating through a few at a time to keep things interesting.
