Who kept the dogs in? Is your dog confused about you being in the house more? Here’s some top tips from Rat Pack Dog Training!
WRITTEN BY EMMA TAYLOR
GO FOR A ‘SNIFFARI’ ADVENTURE Dogs see in a world of scent first and the act of sniffing is very mentally tiring for them. Slow down and let your dog choose the direction of the walk and where to sniff, you might end up travelling on new paths or not covering nearly as much distance as you’re used to!
REMAIN CLEAR OF OTHER PEOPLE Social distancing might be a difficult thing to manage when you have a social dog, but it is important to remain clear of others. While your dog cannot catch COVID-19, it can survive on their fur and end up transferred to you. Make sure your dog isn’t touched by anyone outside your household.
EXPLORE WHAT'S ON YOUR DOORSTEP Next time you go for your dog walk, bypass the car and go for a wander in your local area. The novelty of the new situation as well as the influx of different sights, sounds and smells will be very tiring for your pooch.
THROW OUT THE DAILY WALK As an owner of 4 high drive terriers, the Rat Pack are only walked a few times a week. Instead of a walk, replace your dog’s daily activity with something else.
