How To Keep Your Dog Stimulated In An Apartment In Carmel

Apartment living can be hard on dogs. A modern apartment floor plan helps, but your dog should be engaged, or she might damage your things.

Outdoor exercise, the right toys, and puppy play dates can all keep your dog stimulated in an apartment in Carmel, so both you and your pooch have a wonderful time spent renting.

Give Your Dog Plenty Of Outside Activity

It can be tough keeping a dog stimulated in your apartment in Carmel if your dog doesn’t have much space. Without chances to exercise, your dog may look for more creative ways to get out their extra energy and could start destroying your things. To help your pet work off some of their active enthusiasm, take them out for exercise at least twice a day. You can catch a frisbee at the dog park, go for a jog, find some new trails, or walk around your apartment community. Your dog will get the exercise they need, and you as well!

If your work schedule makes it difficult to take your dog out every day, find another person who can. Hire a well-known or friend to exercise your dog once a day or find a licensed dog walker or daycare company. Most dogs love associating with other humans or dogs and the price will be well worth it if the company keeps your four-legged friend from getting bored and destructive.

Buy Fun Toys To Keep Your Dog Stimulated In Your Apartment In Carmel

Your dog needs more than just daily exercise. You can help keep your dog stimulated in your apartment in Carmel with the right toys too. Offer your pup lots of interesting playthings that nurture curiosity, solving problems, and movement.

Toys that hide treats challenge your dog in a fun way. Invest in a doggy camera to observe, interact with, and give treats to your dog throughout the day! Toys that make noise, roll, or bounce keep your dog intrigued. And chew toys will keep them absorbed throughout the day. Consider building an obstacle course in your living room to keep your canine moving during the day.

Organize Doggy Playdates

Getting social time is vital for your dog as well. You enjoy getting out and socializing, and so might your dog. If your pet is confined to your apartment 24/7, they might not learn how to get along with other people and dogs. You don’t want them to be the dog who jumps up on people and barks at everything.

Hanging out with other dogs can put your dog in a good mood. Take them to see friends and family with dogs or have them go to your apartment community’s dog park. Not only will your pooch like to see other dogs, but it’s a great way to get to know your neighbors too.
