  1. Hide and Seek: Hide treats or toys around your home and encourage your dog to find them. This engages their sense of smell and provides mental stimulation.
  2. Indoor Agility Course: Set up a mini obstacle course using household items like chairs, broomsticks, and cardboard boxes. Guide your dog through the course, teaching them new tricks and commands.
  3. Tug of War: A game of tug can be a great way to release energy and strengthen the bond with your dog. Just make sure to use a sturdy toy designed for this purpose.
  4. Interactive Toys and Puzzles: Invest in interactive toys or puzzle feeders that dispense treats as your dog plays with them. This keeps them mentally engaged and entertained.
  5. DIY Doggie Playdate: Arrange playdates with other dog-owning friends. Dogs can burn a lot of energy by playing with each other, and it’s a great way for them to socialize.

Remember to adapt these activities to your dog’s size, age, and physical abilities to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
