Keeping a pup’s mind active and alert is important no matter how old your dog is. Toys can get expensive, and there are certainly cheaper, more creative ways to play with your dog that are easy to put together with items found around the house! We’ve compiled a list of 5 awesome DIY games to enjoy with your pet!
A super easy and quick game to set up in your home! It uses two of the dog’s senses – sight and smell – and challenges their brain. This game is perfect for puppies, adult dogs, and even geriatric dogs. It’s also good for your relationship because you’re setting up the game, encouraging them as they play it, and you’re their biggest fan when they succeed.
A little bit more of a project, but this can definitely be whipped up in a couple hours on a Saturday afternoon, and your dog will LOVE it! Mentally stimulating, and highly rewarding (YUM! Treats!) this game will be a total hit with them. Best. Doggy parent. Ever.
All you need in s a plastic container, a pair of scissors, and some dog food, to create an interactive dog toy. Why waist 15$ at the store on a food dispensing toy when you can make one at home! This one is for the little guys, not the big chewers 😉
Another one for the light chewers who just love that crunch sound – a DIY toy made from a plastic water bottle and an old t-shirt (tie-dye optional!) – So easy and fun, your pooch will love it. Best of all, it was made with love 🙂
