Finding Things To Do With Your Dog During Quarantine

Each day in quarantine can feel like a lifetime, especially if you’re stuck within the confines of a tight space. With a little imagination and some motivation, there are plenty of things to do with your dog during quarantine.

  1. Play Hide and Seek — Hide a few treats throughout the house for your dog to explore and find throughout the day.
  2. Groom Your Dog — Groom your dog while you’re in quarantine, including fur brushing, tooth brushing, trimming nails, and bathing if needed.
  3. Train Obedience and Teach New Tricks — Quarantine is a great time to have your dog’s focused attention, and spend a few times each day having an obedience and command training session to learn new tricks and essential behaviors.
  4. Play Fetch in the Hallway — Even if there isn’t much space, you can still play fetch in the hallway with whatever space you have available. This is a great way to help your dog stretch its legs while in quarantine.
  5. Try a New Dog Recipe — Find a recipe online to bake homemade dog treats for your canine friend. There are many recipes you can find that are simple to put together.
  6. DIY Agility Course — Use a few small boxes in the backyard and set up a DIY agility course. Your dog can crawl or run through boxes with your coaxing and jump over them too. Aside from agility, be sure to walk and run on your property as much as possible even if you have a small outside space.
  7. Give Lots of Scratches & Dog Massages — Since you’re stuck in quarantine, make sure to give your dog lots of love in the form of scratches and massaging.
  8. Shop for New Toys & Treats — With your canine companion at your side, purchase a few new toys and treats to arrive while you’re in quarantine for playtime.

Once you finish your quarantine, celebrate with your dog by heading to the dog park. You’ll both enjoy stretching your legs after a job well done fighting back against Covid-19!
