We are all in uncharted waters these days. It is pretty wild to say the least. Personally, I pictured an apocalypse kinda like the hit AMC series, The Walking Dead. Something like Rick walking through the streets surviving. Never in a million years would I think I would be locked in my house. Fortunate for me I can be working remotely on this business. Going on day 15 as I write this and I have left the house twice. Once for groceries and another time to let Yeti run in a field!
Anyway, I am writing this to give you some ideas of things you can do while in #Lockdown to keep your puppy dog sane and quite frankly, yourself too!
Easy Ways To Work your Dog’s Mind While In Quarantine!
Some of you may be able to complete your normal daily walks. However, not everyone can. Depending on where you live and whether you are in the suburbs or the heart of the city play a big role!
A lot of friends and customers have been reaching out to me saying their dog is going crazy since they are unable to go to dog parks and other common areas they normally visit. One thing I have suggested to them is to work on training their dog! You can do this anywhere!
Training your own dog will not only build a stronger bond with your furry friend but it makes them think! It tires them out mentally. You do not need much room to train your dog. Working on heel, sit, down and stay can all be done in the house, basement, the backyard or the garage!
15-30 minutes of training your dog would do wonders and if you can work around 45-60 minutes a day I can guarantee you that your dog will be hitting the snooze button early! More importantly, training your own dog during the quarantine will help mentally exhaust your dog’s mind and keep you from going crazy :)
You can work on the basics: Heel (walk at my side without pulling-incase you don’t know what heel means), Sit, Down (lay down), Stay and Come!
In order to help you out I will include some links below to Youtube videos I have created. The videos are all pretty basic stuff you can begin to work on.
