If you lead a busy life, chances are you can’t spend all day with your furry four-legged child. They may be left at home while you’re at work and running errands, so keeping them busy while they’re alone is important. It will boost their mental health and help avoid nervous destruction of your home in North Pole, AK. The doggy daycare team at Golden Heart Boarding & Grooming have shared a few tips for keeping your dog entertained while you’re away.

Doggy Daycare Tips for Keeping Your Pup Busy

1. Puzzle Toys

There are many puzzle toys out there that you can give your dog to keep them busy. With treats hidden inside the puzzle, it could take all day for your dog to finish with the toy. This keeps their mind and mouth busy. If you don’t want to invest in one of the fancier toys, you can simply fill a hollow toy with peanut butter and let them try to get every last bit out.

2. Open the Blinds

You probably don’t want your dog barking at everyone who walks in front of your home, so try opening the curtains of a window in the back and make sure there’s a comfortable spot in front of the window. This allows your dog to sit and watch what’s going on outside. Birds, cats, and other wildlife can provide entertainment for hours on end.

3. Pet Boarding

The best way to keep your dog happy when you’re gone for hours every day is through pet kennels. A reputable doggy daycare can solve all your problems, as your dog will be well-loved during the day. The staff will exercise them and care for them, and they may even be able to socialize with other dogs. This will make sure you come home to a happy pup every day.
