Keeping your dog entertained and to come up with new ways to keep your pet’s spirits high can be even more exhausting during the lockdown period and can be a challenge. Here are a few ways in which you can entertain your dogs while practicing self-isolation. Take a look.
Play the nose game
Nose work games are one of the easiest ways to keep your dog entertained. When you teach your dog some basic nose work games such as ‘find the treats’ you are practically mentally tiring them out and helping them polish their natural skills.
NoseWork is a great way to help Pearl get more comfortable with everyday obstacles AND to burn mental energy. What could make a beagle happier than this?!

Shell Game
Considered as one of the simplest problem-solving games for dogs, the shell game gives your dog plenty of mental stimulation, and helps them work on their problem-solving skills. To play the shell game with your dog let your pet watch as you place a treat under one of three cups. You can then allow the dog to find the treat after you shuffle the cups.

Clean-up
You can teach your dog to put their toys in the proper arrangement, as it gives them a sense of cleanliness and discipline. To teach your dog new skills, you can boost their confidence, as it is a great way to give them more mental stimulation.
