Ways To Keep Your Dog Stimulated In The Apartment In Westfield

August 11, 2021

When living in a Westfield apartment with a canine companion, you need to make it happy and healthy without the outdoor space that a house and yard offers. A modern apartment floor plan helps, but your pooch has to be entertained, or he might get curious and destroy things.

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

Offer Your Pet Lots Of Outdoor Time

It can be tricky to keep a dog stimulated in your apartment in Westfield if they don’t have much room. Without chances to exercise, your dog may look for ways to use their spunkiness and could start tearing up your apartment. To help your pooch use some of their active enthusiasm, take them out to play at least two times a day. You can play fetch at the park, go on a run, hike trails, or go strolling around your apartment community. Your pup will get the exercise they need, and you will too!

If your work schedule makes it difficult to take your dog out every day, find someone else who can. Pay a trusted or friend to walk your dog once a day or find a professional dog walker or doggie daycare company. Many dogs love hanging out with other humans or dogs and the cost will be worth it if the company keeps your dog from becoming bored and chewing everything up.

Provide Fun Toys To Keep Your Dog Stimulated In Your Apartment In Westfield

Your dog requires more than just daily exercise. You can keep your dog stimulated in your apartment in Westfield with the right toys too. Offer your pup lots of new toys that nurture curiosity, solving problems, and movement.

Toys that hold hidden treats offer a fun challenge. Purchase a pet camera to monitor, interact with, and give treats to your dog while you’re away! Playthings that make noise, roll, or bounce keep your dog interested. And chew toys will keep them content for hours. Consider building an obstacle course in your living room to keep your dog active during the day.

Schedule Doggy Playdates

Social stimulation is wonderful for your pooch as well. You like to get out of the house and socialize, and so do most dogs. If your furry friend is kept in your apartment every day, they may not learn how to interact with other humans and pets. You don’t want them to be the dog who jumps up on everyone and barks at everything.

Hanging out with other pooches 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 see other dogs, but it’s a wonderful way to get to know your neighbors also.
