Purchase a bottle of pet-friendly bubbles and see how your dog reacts! If they don’t seem to care for them a lot, just blow a few at a close distance and give your dog a treat simply for looking at them. The more interest they show, the more you continue rewarding them until they start wanting to engage with the bubbles more and more.

Whether it’s with a kiddie pool and ball pit balls for indoors, or an actual sand pit outside in your backyard, setting either of these up makes for plenty of digging opportunities, anytime you choose to hide something in them, and can also help prevent digging in other parts of your home.

Want to play detective? Place a few of your pants that are about to go into the laundry for a wash in the living room folded neatly and a few feet apart from one another. Inside one pair, place a few treats, in between the folds and inside the pockets before inviting your dog into the room to see how quickly they can detect which pant smells like their treat the most.

Keep your dog’s treat bags around after they’ve run out of treats. After you have a few bags of different treat flavours empty, place them (slightly open) in a room and see which one your dog gravitates to the most. That’ll let you know which one has the smell that attracts them the most, making that treat the most ideal for scent-related games!
