Tips for activation indoors
All dogs benefit from activation, both through exercise and mental stimulation. Dogs need the opportunity to think, solve problems and work for their food. Therefore, it is beneficial to stop giving the dog its food in a bowl. Instead, use the dog's daily food intake by providing enrichment and activation.
Provide food in activation toys and training
Instead of always giving the dog its food in a bowl, the dog can be stimulated by hiding treats in puzzle toys or exercising for a while. You might even stop feeding the dog in a bowl altogether and do short training sessions with the dog, in addition to feeding it in different activation toys. Dog trainer Lina Lundin gives you tips on some ways you can skip the food bowl and activate your dog to better well-being instead!
