Ways To Keep Your Dog Stimulated In An Apartment In Indianapolis

Many pet owners know that your canine companion may have a more problems adjusting to apartment life more than you. An open apartment floor plan helps, but you need to keep your pup happy, or he might damage your things.

A place to exercise outside, the right toys, and canine play dates can all keep your dog stimulated in an apartment in Indianapolis, so you both have a wonderful time spent renting.

Give Your Dog Plenty Of Outdoor Activity

It can be tricky to keep a dog stimulated in an apartment in Indianapolis if they don’t have places to run around. Without chances to exercise, your dog may look for other ways to expend their energy and could start destroying your things. To help your dog expend some of that playful energy, take them out for exercise at least twice every day. You can play frisbee at the park, go on a run, find some new trails, or go strolling around your apartment community. Your pup will get the exercise they need, and so will you!

If your work schedule doesn’t let you take your dog out every day, find somebody else who can. Hire a trusted or friend to walk your dog once a day or find a dog walking service or doggie daycare company. Most dogs love hanging out with a human friend or other dogs and the expense will be well worth it if the company keeps your dog from becoming bored and destroying things.

Find The Right Toys To Keep Your Dog Stimulated In Your Apartment In Indianapolis

Your furry friend requires more than just lots of exercise. You can keep your dog stimulated in your apartment in Indianapolis with fun and interesting toys too. Give your dog lots of fun playthings that promote curiosity, problem-solving, and fun play.

Toys that have hidden treats challenge your dog in a fun way. Purchase a doggy camera to watch, interact with, and give treats to your dog when you’re out! Toys that squeak, roll, or light up keep your dog interested. And chew toys will keep them content for hours. You can even set up an obstacle course in your living room to keep your dog moving while you’re away.

Plan Doggy Playdates

Social stimulation is important for your pet too. You need to get out with other people, and so does Fido. If your dog is stuck in your apartment every day, they may not learn how to socialize with other humans and animals. You don’t want them to be the dog who barks at everything and everyone and bothers your neighbors.

Being around other dogs can keep your dog happy and friendly. Bring them along when you see friends with dogs or have them play at your apartment community’s dog park. Not only will your dog like to socialize, but it’s a wonderful way to get to know your neighbors as well.
