Some breeds require a lot more than others, but all need some form of exercise daily. So what do you do when the temperatures outside are too cold, or the weather is too inclement for you or your dog to want to venture outside? There are some activities that you can do indoors that will keep your dog\u2019s mind active and his body active too. We detail some ideas below, so you\u2019ve got some back up activities for those low temperature days when outdoor exercise isn\u2019t the best option.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brush up on some dog training<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When was the last time you added another trick to your dog\u2019s repertoire? Dogs thrive when mentally stimulated and learning a new trick is a great way to do that and can easily be done indoors. Look online for YouTube videos that can show you step by step how some tricks can be taught.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set up an agility course<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t have to have a massive indoor space to achieve this. Simply setting up a few obstacles in your living area or hallway can get your dog running and jumping. There\u2019s also no need to purchase expensive equipment. Using household items that you already have at home is all that\u2019s required.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sniff out some nosework options<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option for mental stimulation comes in the form of nosework.\u00a0 A dog\u2019s nose is highly sensitive and this form of exercise is both very tiring for dogs and is a great way to improve impulse control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try some puzzle games<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one will require some expenditure, but puzzle games for dogs are relatively inexpensive. We particularly like the test tube Turnaround game from Trixie, which offers different levels of difficulty so can still be utilized as your dog\u2019s skills progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Play hide and seek<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dogs love a game of hide and seek. It\u2019s a really easy one to do indoors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do some stair work<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve got stairs, doing some stair work can boost your dog\u2019s fitness levels and yours too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit an indoor play park for dogs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re tight on space and want to hang out with other pups and their parents, why not install your<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travall.co.uk\/dog-guard\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travall Guard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the car and head out to an indoor play park for a whole selection of dog activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dogs need exercise to stay healthy and happy.
