Rainy days means not getting to do fun outdoor activities, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun inside! There are a bunch of indoor activities you can do with your dog to give them the mental and physical stimulation they would be getting outside. Here are 10 indoor activities to do with your dog on rainy days.
Indoor Activities To Do With Your Dog On Rainy Days
1. Fetch
The classic go-to game for most dog owners, fetch is a great way to bond with your dog and give them the exercise they need.
2. Tug of War
Tug of war is another great game to play with your dog on rainy days. For smaller dogs, just be sure not to pull too hard as to not injure their neck.
3. The Shell Game
The Shell Game is a fun guessing game that makes your dog use their sense of smell to find a treat. Use three cups and place one treat under one of the cups. Mix the cups around and then say to your dog, “which one?” If they get it right, reward them with the treat. If not, have them guess again!
4. Create An Obstacle Course
Use furniture and other objects in your home to create a doggy obstacle course for your pooch to show off their skills.
5. Hide-N-Seek
Hide somewhere in your home and have your dog find you. Have your dog sit and stay, then go hide and when you’re ready call out for them and see how long it takes them to find you.
6. Practice Training Commands
Training is a great way to spend time with your dog indoors. Practice any commands that your dog may need work on.
7. Set Up A Playdate
If you live in the same building as a dog your friendly with, have them meet up for a playdate.
8. Puzzle Toys
Use puzzle toys to stimulate your dog’s mind and reward them with treats.
9. Long-Lasting Chews
Use a tasty long-lasting chew to keep your dog busy.
10. Chasing Bubbles
Blowing bubbles isn’t just for kids now. You can find dog safe bubbles to blow for your dog and watch them react and play with them.
