Autumn is just around the corner, and with it rainy days. So today a blog with 5 to do’s for a rainy day, to enjoy yourself with your dog.
Top 5 to do’s with your dog for a rainy day
- Puzzles and enrichment: have fun doing puzzles with your dog! This is fun on all days of course, but on rainy days it can provide that little bit of extra mental exercise for dogs that don’t like walking in the rain. There are many different dog puzzles available, and there are also special Facebook groups full of puzzle ideas.
- Baking cookies: get into the kitchen with your dog! Our blog already has some ideas for cookies and other baking that your dog will enjoy, with many more to come in the future. An additional advantage: you can immediately use those cookies (after cooling off, of course) in your puzzles and enrichment.
- Lounging on the couch together: a day of doing nothing is also fine! Grab a stack of nice dog books and a nice blanket, and sit on the couch together.
- Training: you can do a lot of exercises at home in the living room. Especially small, calm exercises that require little movement. Ask your trainer for some fun exercises to do at home, specifically tailored to your training needs.
- Go outside: put on boots and rain gear, and go! If your dog, like my Labradors for example, doesn’t mind being outside in all kinds of weather, then go outside with him! We can dress for the occasion, and you will do your four-legged friend a great favor with it.
Do you also still go outside when it rains? Or do you both prefer to stay indoors as much as possible on rainy days? Of course, your beloved four-legged friend must be able to relieve himself, but an ‘indoor day’ every now and then is fine!
