Bored dogs get into trouble. Bright and active dogs get into mischief.
Without enough to keep them occupied, dogs of all types will go self-employed: raiding the bin, digging holes in the garden, barking for attention – or 101 other behaviours we wish they wouldn’t do.
This booklet was inspired by one of my own dogs - Jackson. At the age of five months, he needed extensive surgery for a hip problem. Of course, the post-op phase meant much-reduced exercise, and presented me with the challenge of how to keep a young and enthusiastic pup occupied - while keeping my shoes safe from being chewed!
Dogs in the wild would face puzzles every day. They would have to find food, water and a safe place to sleep. Our dogs have all this provided: they get their food in a dish, their water is always available and their cosy basket sits in the corner.
Dogs need to use their brains, to keep occupied, happy and well-balanced.
The ideas in this booklet are perfect for dogs that can’t have as much exercise as they would like, and as a foundation for those that are hyperactive or have behavioural problems.
Most of all, these mind games are designed to be fun, fast and effective for all dogs to enjoy!
