How To Keep Your Dog Stimulated In An Apartment In Fishers

August 11, 2021

When you’re in a Fishers apartment with a dog, you have to make it entertained without the space that a house and backyard can give you. An open apartment floor plan helps, but you need to keep your dog engaged, or he might become destructive.

Outside exercising, fun toys, and doggy play dates can all keep your dog stimulated in an apartment in Fishers, so both you and your pooch have a great renting experience.

Give Your Dog Plenty Of Outdoor Exercise

It can be tough keeping a dog stimulated in your apartment in Fishers if they don’t have spaces to run. Without regular exercise, your dog will look for more creative ways to get out their energy and could start chewing on shoes and other items. To help your dog work off some of their energy, exercise them at least twice every day. You can play frisbee at the dog run, go running, explore new trails, or go strolling around your apartment community. Your pet will get the exercise they need, and you as well!

If your work schedule doesn’t let you exercise your dog as often as they need, find someone else who can. Hire a dependable neighbor or friend to walk your dog every day or find a professional dog walker or doggie daycare service. Most dogs love being around a human friend or other dogs and the expense will be well worth it if the activity and company keeps your pup from becoming bored and chewing everything up.

Buy Interesting Toys To Keep Your Dog Stimulated In Your Apartment In Fishers

Your dog needs more than just lots of exercise. You can keep your dog stimulated in your apartment in Fishers with fun toys too. Offer your pup different fun items that nurture curiosity, solving problems, and fun play.

Toys that hold hidden treats challenge your dog in a fun way. Purchase a doggy camera to monitor, interact with, and give treats to your dog while you’re away! Toys that make noise, roll, or bounce keep your dog interested. And chew toys will keep them absorbed throughout the day. You can even set up an obstacle course in your living room to keep your canine active while you’re away.

Schedule Doggy Playdates

Being social is wonderful for your dog as well. You need to get out with other people, and so do most dogs. If your furry friend is stuck in your apartment all of the time, they might not learn how to interact with other humans and pets. You don’t want them to be the dog who barks at everything and everyone and annoys your next-door neighbors.

Being around other dogs can make your dog happy. Take them to visit family members with dogs or have them visit your apartment community’s dog park. Not only will your dog like to socialize, but it’s a wonderful way to chat with your neighbors as well.
