As pet owners, we want the best for our furry companions, and that includes ensuring they get enough exercise. But how do you know when your dog isn’t getting enough activity? Exercise is crucial for your dog’s physical and mental well-being, and lack of it can lead to a range of behavioural and health issues. In this post, we’ll explore the signs that your dog needs more exercise and offer tips on how to improve their routine.

With the weather starting to get a little toasty, it’s really important that we keep our pets cool! This is especially vital for overnight, senior and/or brachycephalic dogs (squished nose dogs) that can quickly overheat.

Rather than being stuck on the couch all day, we’ve provided a list of fun, interactive games and activities that you can enjoy doing with your dog indoors while it’s hot outside. It’ll help you pass the time and keep your dog’s brain stimulated! 

At Happy Hounds, we utilise Free Work Enrichment to cater to a spectrum of challenges faced by dogs, whether it be as an engaging activity during inclement weather, or as a way to build confidence and create safe activities for dogs who have mobility constraints or anxiety-related concerns. Find out more about what Free Work Enrichment is, and how we use it during our sessions to provide the best care for our furry friends.
