Home Remedies for Cabin Fever



I think we experiencing a Polar Vortex Sequel!? Can you believe we have, yet, another day of zero temps! 20 degrees (a virtual heatwave) would be nice because we could spend more time outside; at least longer than just a quick pee and dash back inside.

Yup going a bit stir crazy! What is happening at your house? Are your dogs bouncing off the walls? Are you wondering what can be done to use up all that energy?

Here are some indoor remedies to cure Cabin Fever!

1. Which Hand Holds the Treat: Indication game.
Your dog will smell where the treat is then either use their nose or paw to point at the correct hand.



2. Come and Go: Return and Send game.
You send your dog to eat a treat in the food bowl then have them return to you when called.



3. Broom Jumping: Directional Control game.
Your dog will follow your directions as you make him wait to jump over the broom.



Take your pick! Each game will have their own challenge as you figure out how to teach your dog to play.
You won't need any fancy equipment either; just time and patience. An these days while stuck indoors, we have plenty of time!

Oh and only 50 days till Spring!!
