When it’s too cold to go out, how do you keep your dog from getting bored?

We modify games we play outdoors for inside. Instead of throwing a ball, we roll it. We also work on training. Puzzles are fun as well.

When dealing with a nervous pup, or even one that gets a bit antsy in certain situations, having a chat with them can do wonders. Some might raise an eyebrow at my conversations with dogs, but I make a habit of checking in regularly. If I notice a change in their body language, a curious gaze, prolonged focus on something, a step backward, or if I sense a potential trigger approaching, I start asking questions and providing reassurance. I'm also a fan of labelling things plainly. Just like when I ask, "Do you want dinner?" I might say, "Here comes someone; let's cross the road," in a matter-of-fact tone if I know people are a trigger for the dog. No fuss, just a casual heads-up. If a dog is barking at night during a potty break and there's no apparent reason, I let them know I've got it handled and there's no intruder in the yard. I might or might not thank them for keeping me in the loop or trying to be my furry guardian. Sometimes, the way we speak and the tone we use can defuse a situation before it escalates or at least interrupt it if they're still tuned in.

Prepping some enrichment activities for the doggies. Looks like a lot of peanut butter, but it isn’t.

Thank you CC for sharing Okie’s story!!
“Okie spent the first two years of his life in a backyard and the next two in a boarding kennel. In his last two years his horizons have been widened exponentially living in three different states, flying on a plane and having lots of new experiences. He's slow to warm up to men and dog selective but he tries hard every day and has learned and taught so much.”

Meet my roommate Wilbur. He has come a long way. When he first moved in he was extremely stressed. He was living in conditions that didn’t meet his overall wellness. Sure he had a roof over his head, and was fed, but it was too loud and he didn’t get a chance to rabbit.

He was in a few different homes. The last person surrendered him because he didn’t like to be held. He was attacked by another bunny escaped his enclosure at one of his pit spots. He was kept in a space that didn’t allow him to zoomie freely.

He still grunts and lunges at me if I catch him off guard. Rabbits look like they are awake when they are sleeping. But each morning as soon as I get out of bed, he’s running circles around my feet. He also wakes me up at 3 am when he feels that’s the best time to be running around. I don’t mind, he’s happy.

As a family dog mediator I love figuring out the “why” and helping pet guardians figure out a way to let their dogs dog.

If you are considering a dog from the Bull Dog breed, here are some things to keep in mind, why you will love them and why you might need to seek a trainer.

If you have questions or need help with training, reach out!
