Give Dog Some Variations in Daily Routine

Avoid Boredom By Giving Your Dog Some Variations In His Daily Routine

Our dogs are very intelligent animals and they like to do things that keep them thinking. A dogs life can be very boring if the same things happen every day at the same time so try to give your dog some variety in his day.

We all know about boredom and no doubt most of us as children spent time when we simply didn’t know what we could to to add some variety into our lives. Dogs are no different. They love to spend time in new places and doing new things or just doing the same old things a little differently so try to change your pet dogs routine now and again to avoid him getting bored with the same old things.

Dogs do like to have some familiar things and their bedding is an example of something they like because they are familiar with it. We all like to have somewhere we call home and your dog is no different but there are other things you can change and your dog will love you for it.

Bored dogs may display several different types of behavioral patterns which can give you a clue that they need some changes in their daily routine. Barking continuously may just be a case of ‘something to do to ease the boredom’ and other dogs may spend their time digging up your yard or garden.

If you distract your dog with some new activities or new toys it may be a much happier and more contented dog. There are plenty of different types of dog toys around but he may be just as happy playing with a ball or an old coat you no longer need.
Leave your dog toys where he can easily get them and he will entertain himself with them when he is getting bored. If you leave them in his bed or crate he will feel very comfortable with them and they will be like inanimate friends for him.

Make sure you take him out regularly as dogs love to see new things and take him to different places if you can so he can enjoy discovering new sights sounds and smells that he is not familiar with.
