No Bored Dogs Over the Howl-idays

The holiday season can be a lonely one for your dog. He will see you rushing off to work as usual, then rushing home to change and leaving again and the next time he sees you, it's late and you're going straight to bed so you won't be late for work the next day.

Multiply this occurrence by many times over the holiday season and you'll soon have a lonely and bored pooch that may start being destructive in order to pass the time. If taking your dog with you isn't an option, you can do the next best thing and get him a fun toy to play with when you're not there.

Balls that roll will keep your dog occupied for a little while but he'll soon want someone to throw it and then he'll only miss you more when he realizes you aren't there to do the throwing. Instead get him a perplexing puzzle toy that will keep him playing for hours and he'll learn and become even smarter while doing it.

There are many toys designed to use your dog's problem solving skills to keep him thinking of ways to get the inserts out. Put the toys inside the gingerbread house and let him go to work. You can also put a special treat inside for you dog as an added bonus for doing a good job and figuring out how to get those toys out!

You can't be with your dog all the time, even though you'd love to have him with you every minute of the day. Make sure that your time apart isn't lonely for him, give him a fun toy to pass the time until you two get to play together again!
