We’ve got the paw-fect solution to keep your canine companion entertained, mentally sharp, and cool as a cucumber. Get ready for a dose of laughter, wagging tails, and a whole lot of brain-teasing fun!
Hide-and-Seek
A Game of Sniffing Marvels – The classic game of hide-and-seek isn’t just for humans. Dogs have an extraordinary sense of smell, and this game taps into their natural instincts. Grab some treats or their favorite toy and find clever hiding spots throughout your home. Encourage your furry friend to sniff out the hidden treasures. Start with easy hiding places and gradually increase the difficulty!
Puzzle Toys

Puzzle toys are like magic portals that challenge your dog’s problem-solving skills while providing tasty rewards. These interactive toys come in various shapes and sizes, from simple treat balls to complex treat-dispensing mazes. Your dog will have a blast rolling, nudging, and manipulating the toy to retrieve the hidden treats within. Just make sure you have a camera ready to capture their triumphant ‘Eureka’ moments! And feel free to show off your furry geniuses by sharing their triumphs with us on our Social Media platforms.
Indoor Agility
Olympics in Your Living Room Think your dog has what it takes to be an agility champion? Why not create a mini agility course right in your living room? Use pillows as hurdles, a broomstick & 2 chairs as a makeshift tunnel, and a hula hoop as a hoop jump. Guide your furry athlete through the course, encouraging them with treats and praise. It’s a fantastic way to keep them physically and mentally engaged, all while staying indoors and away from the sweltering heat outside.
Learn New Tricks
Unleash the Canine Einstein – The dog days of summer are a great time to teach your pup some cool new tricks. From basic commands like ‘sit’ and ‘stay’ to more advanced feats like ‘roll over’ and ‘play dead,’ the sky’s the limit! Break the tricks down into small steps, use positive reinforcement, and be patient. With consistent training sessions, your dog will become a true scholar of tricks and impress everyone with their intellect. Plus, their enthusiastic tail wags will keep you laughing all summer long!
DIY Snuffle Towel
Scavenger Hunt Sensation – Turn mealtime into a stimulating adventure with a DIY snuffle towel. All you need is an old towel or banket, a handful of treats or kibble, and some creativity. Hide the treats within the fabric, allowing your dog to use their keen sense of smell to forage for their meal. It’s like a scavenger hunt right at their paws! Not only will it keep them mentally engaged, but it will also slow down their eating, preventing any tummy troubles.
And don’t forget to share with us the intellectual Highs and hilarious Bloopers on your journey through the Summer months.
