How to Keep Your Dog Engaged When You’re Not Home

It can be a hard task to care for your pet dog while you are busy with your job, children, and other commitments. A bored and lonely dog can destroy your clothes, furniture, and other household items, and could also cause harm to themselves. You can hire a pet walker at a reasonable rate to exercise your pet when you are at the office. This article provides more such useful tips on how to keep your dog engaged while you’re away.

Open the blinds or curtains to a window at the back of your home to enable your pet to look outside. Set a chair or cushion near the window to help your dog or pup comfortably view the outside. 

Turn on the TV 

Turn on the TV

Keep your tuned to the Animal Planet channel and increase the volume. Your dog will be stimulated by the visuals and sounds of animals, and they will keep themselves busy with the TV and away from trouble. 

Make Your Dog Calmer

If your pet becomes overactive, anxious, or nervous while you’re away, you can use the following ideas:

  • Apply calming oils like frankincense, wild orange, eucalyptus, peppermint, or lavender on your dog’s bedding. 
  • Provide your pet a treat like calming chews that promote relaxation. This can keep your dog occupied and prevent them from barking needlessly which can bother the neighbors.
  • Buy and use a dog-friendly pheromone diffuser, spray, or collar. These products release a pheromone which is like the one emitted by a lactating female dog to relax her newborn pups. Thus, your dog will be familiar with it and could calm down. You can place the collar on your pet, use the spray on their bed, or keep the diffuser in the dog’s room. 

Scavenger Hunt

Hide dog kibble or meals around your home and make your pet look for them. These treats will keep them busy and occupied. You can hide a puzzle toy or meals just before you go out so that your dog gets a positive emotion from your leaving and not a negative one. 

Get them a Companion 

Get them a Companion

You can get another pup as a companion for your pet and this can help both dogs as it’d fulfill their socializing needs. Ensure the new animal gets along fine with your pet and has been vetted and vaccinated. You can first foster the new pup and adopt it if it mingles nicely with your pet and family.
