Bored Dog? 8 Enrichment Ideas to Keep Them Happy and Busy

A bored dog often becomes a destructive dog. Enrichment keeps their mind engaged and their behaviour in check. Try these.

1. Puzzle feeders

Make mealtime a challenge with a puzzle feeder that rewards problem-solving.

2. Snuffle mats

Hide kibble in a snuffle mat and let your dog use their nose, a naturally tiring activity.

3. Chew toys

Safe, durable chews satisfy the natural urge to chew and soothe stress.

4. Hide and seek

Hide treats, or yourself, around the house and let your dog find them.

5. New routes

Walk a different route to give your dog fresh smells and sights.

6. Training games

Five minutes teaching a new trick tires the brain and strengthens your bond.

7. Rotate toys

Put some toys away and swap them weekly so old toys feel new again.

8. Social time

Safe play with other friendly dogs burns energy and builds confidence.
