what to do with the dog in the apartment and what to play
Self-isolation: a dog's joy
All family members vying to go for a walk with the dog, and even at home there is no end to those who want to pet the dog or play with it? Yes, dogs are the main beneficiaries of these difficult times. We offer several options for spending time with your pet, since you still spend a lot of time at home.
But first, let us remind you that the absence of the need to get up for work does not mean that the dog does not need to be walked in the morning. It is better not to knock down the adjusted biological clock (both dog's and your own). In a word, do not walk the dog less than usual (more is possible). nine0005
Although pets living in families with children may argue with this thesis.
One way or another, the dog spends more time with the owners and it should be fun. How can you entertain your pet? Dog game: Which hand? nine0005
Ask your dog to guess which fist holds his favorite treat. Obviously, it will not be difficult for an animal to guess this by smell, but only for the first time. Then both hands will smell the same food. If your dog guesses correctly, give him a treat and praise. The main thing is not to overdo it with treats: treats are usually very high in calories. As an option for the game, you can use pellets of "regular" food. And one more thing: the dog should not get the impression that a treat is always hidden in a clenched fist. Therefore, come up with a command (for example, “where is the yummy?” Or “in which hand?”) And voice it before each round of the game. nine0029
Seek! and its varieties
Training the dog's senses is never superfluous. Even in an apartment, you can come up with several options for "search" games.
True, if you try to play them, for example, with a professionally trained retriever who regularly goes out into the field, then the exercises below will most likely be too easy for such a pet. Fortunately, dogs are very polite animals and will never laugh at their owners. Unlike cats, who love to mock and demonstrate their superiority :). nine0011 So, in the absence of a dog, we hide something that arouses her interest. It can be a treat or a host (family member). In the case of treats, it’s worth starting with strong-smelling treats. Before hiding, carry the yummy around the apartment at a height of half a meter from the floor, without holding it in your fist. The fact is that some dogs are able to follow the trail with the help of the so-called "upper sense", that is, the smell left in the air. Then we give the command "Search!" and enjoy the show.
If you are supposed to look for one of the people, then for the right mood you can use the thing belonging to him. You can help a pet who is having difficulty finding it by raising a voice from a hiding place.
Commands in this case should be given personalized ("Look for Sasha!" or "Look for mom!"). What to do: active games with the dog in apartment
If you are a caring "dog person", then you probably have items for fetching and playing tug in your arsenal. And if you have to work from home and need your dog to leave you alone for a while, look for hybrid feeder toys. They can be filled with food, and pulling it out and eating it right away will not work. The dog will have fun chasing a tasty ball around the apartment, and you will be able to participate in a video conference (actually not, because the interlocutors will not hear you because of the cheerful barking). nine0005
And the same pulling will help to warm up after work. Here are some tips about this game:
- teach the dog to take and give the toy only on command;
- any bite or injury automatically leads to the end of the game;
- choose a strong and not too small toy so that both the owner and the dog can grab it;
- sometimes let the dog take the toy from you and win (then the “hostage” can be exchanged for a treat).
nine0011 We also remind you that tugging should be played with puppies carefully so as not to spoil the growing teeth or bite. Game "Where are my slippers?"
Aerobatics, with which it is so pleasant to surprise friends or guests, is the search and fetching of a specific object. The easiest and most effective way is to use house slippers. However, teaching a dog this trick is not so easy. To begin with, make sure that the pet knows how to execute the “Fetch” and “Give” commands. But fetching in its classic form works with an object that the owner throws and the dog brings. Obviously, this will not work with slippers. nine0011 Therefore, we act like this: we put a training item (not necessarily slippers) on the floor, bring the dog and command “Aport”. Be persistent: you need to get the dog to take the lying (and not thrown) object from the floor and give it to you. After that, proceed to the next step: put the object on the floor, move away from it for a few steps and again command “Fetch”.
In the final, the dog must learn to bring the object to which you show with your hand, on the command “Fetch”. It remains only to change the subject. Show the slippers to the dog, let him smell it, repeating the word "Slippers". nine0011 As a result, the dog will bring you what you need on the command "Aport Slippers". And give them after the word "Give." At the initial stage, you should not complicate the task of the pet by searching, so put your slippers always in the same place. In the end, you will get used to the order, and your dog - to a new trick!
P.S. Let the “cat lovers” not be offended by us - tips for all types of pets did not fit in one article. Wait for a separate article about games with cats!

How to walk your dog in rainy weather
If you lead an active lifestyle and spend a lot of time outside with your dog, you probably don't want a little bad weather to spoil your fun walk.
Walking in the rain can be a very enjoyable experience, but you may need to coax your dog a little to make the time worthwhile. Further in the article - a few tricks that will help the dog feel comfortable if it gets wet, and the owners - to keep the house and car clean after a walk. nine0005
Coax your dog to walk in rainy weather
Even a very active dog can be intimidated by the thought of walking in the rain. Any of us, too, would rather run on a treadmill in the gym on a rainy day than on a wet sidewalk. But there are times when it cannot be avoided - for example, rain can catch you outside while walking, or your exercise regimen may prevent you from missing a walk just because of light rainfall. If you live in a rainy region or it is the rainy season in the yard, and if your dog does not walk for a long time, this can affect both his exercise and his psyche. nine0005
The best way to teach your dog to tolerate the weather is to introduce him to such weather at a young age.
The actions and actions of the owners affect the pet, and if he sees that you are having a great time, he may follow your example. But not all dogs are properly accustomed to inclement weather, and if you have adopted an adult dog, you need to approach the issue differently.
Start small: take your dog to the toilet or for a minute walk in the rain. Gradually increase the length of each walk so your dog learns to walk more confidently in bad weather. You can purchase a dog raincoat to keep your pet from getting too wet, which is probably what worries him the most. Remember to wash your paws and dry your dog thoroughly as soon as you get home. If the pet is sure that he will not stay wet forever, over time he will begin to perceive walking in the rain as nothing more than a temporary inconvenience. nine0005
Which raincoat is best for your pet?
If your dog has to walk or run in the rain for a long time, try taking him to the pet store and trying on a raincoat.
Let your dog walk around the store in a raincoat to see if he is comfortable. Wearing a waterproof jacket may seem strange to her, but by looking at the dog, you will most likely immediately understand whether she can get used to the new accessory or refuse to wear it at all.
Raincoat is one of the most popular items of clothing for pets, in which you can walk your dog in the rain. But there are other possible options - for example, umbrellas that are attached to a leash or harness. Rubber boots for dogs are another way to protect your pet's paws and feet from getting wet, despite the fact that rare dogs love to wear them. There are those who simply refuse to wear them, so it's best to let your pet try on boots before buying. nine0005
Keeping your home and car clean and dry
Let's face it, even if you walk your dog in the rain in the best raincoat, it will still get wet. Whether it is dirty paws or a wet tail, there is a chance that the house will become dirty or wet.
How to protect your home from clutter after such a walk?
First of all, prepare a dry towel and a damp cloth to dry your dog's paws after the walk. If the pet has long hair, it is better to dry it with a hairdryer on a cool setting immediately upon returning home. Set boundaries for your dog on what parts of the house they are allowed to be in when the coat is wet. For example, you can teach her not to jump on the sofa until it dries, or block the passage to certain areas, such as bedrooms. nine0005
If you go to a local dog park where you have to drive, buy a dog seat cover. It will not only perfectly protect the chair from the dog’s hair if it sheds heavily, but it will also help get rid of the hassle associated with washing dirty dog paw marks. These covers are usually machine washable. Be sure to check out our tips on how to get rid of wet dog smell in your car.
The dog loves to spend time with the owner, but it may take some time to get used to walking in bad weather.
