These boredom busting tips fit into any schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Make mealtimes into playtimes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Extend the excitement of dinnertime as long as possible. Food-based games and puzzle feeders are great <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">toys for bored dogs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, keeping them entertained as they crack the code for dinner.

Leave toys when you\u2019re not home<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dogs love toys, but they can quickly get tired of the same old ones \u2013 even if they\u2019re the most <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stimulating or interactive dog toys <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">out there.

When it comes to the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">best dog toys for boredom<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, there are no fixed rules \u2013just choose a selection your dog enjoys, and that are safe and suitable for their breed and personality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3996 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2.png\" alt=\"Boredom in dogs\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2.png 600w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2-300x175.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Introduce them to other dogs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like us, dogs are social creatures; if they spend all day in their own company, there\u2019s a high chance they\u2019ll get bored. They\u2019re also more likely to develop a fear of other dogs or <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/2018\/06\/19\/separation-anxiety-in-dogs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">separation anxiety<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. So let your dog mingle \u2013 take them for walks with other dog owners, go to the park, or try training classes where they can spend time with other dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3995\" src=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/3.png\" alt=\"boredom in dogs\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/3.png 600w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/3-300x175.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Teach them new tricks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tackling boredom relies on tiring your dog out mentally as well as physically. Working together to master a new trick is just the thing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not sure where to start? Look for local training classes \u2013 you\u2019ll find them for all breeds and abilities. From fun little tricks to good citizen classes they \u00a0are a great way to keep your dog\u2019s mind active. And they\u2019re a ready-made way to socialise too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3993\" src=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/claude-trick-small.png\" alt=\"Boredom in dogs\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/claude-trick-small.png 600w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/claude-trick-small-300x175.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Mix-up their exercise<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exercise is a brilliant boredom-buster. Your regular half-hour walk around the block is a good start, but new experiences are better at occupying your dog\u2019s mind. Going for a run? Take the dog with you. Build an obstacle course in the garden. Even a game of fetch can add some welcome variety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Come the weekend, ditch the day-to-day and head to a completely different environment \u2013 roam through the woods or bound across the beach. All that physical exercise, plus the excitement of taking in all the new sights, sounds and smells, means your dog won\u2019t have any energy left to be bored.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Change their routine<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Doing and seeing the same things every day has a similar impact on dogs as it does on us \u2013 boredom.
