We play hide the treat. I put him in another room, hide a bone or treat, bring him back in and yell “ find it” and he gets all excited and searches the room like he’s a blood hound. He loves it.

My dog stimulates herself. She gets into everything! We play inside, fight with her Lamb ChopS (many), and get tummy rubs.

Mini training sessions, walks where I’m letting her lead so she can sniff everything. We tried puzzles / toys but she just wasn’t interested

I have two very smart Frenchies - they find ways to stimulate their minds without any help from us. They learn new words and observe our behavior/identify what the behavior means all the time. They're honestly too smart for their own good sometimes because it stresses them out unnecessarily if we do something and it makes them think something's happening that's not, such as that we're about to leave the house or I'm leaving for travel when I'm not.

Outside of daily walkers and him playing out in the snow, which he loves- we have more than a few Brain games and puzzles for dogs. There’s a ton of them out there.

Any recommendations for stimulating and safe games/puzzles?

In the non freezing months we work on his frisbee skills outside of regular walks. Freezing temps he is pretty lazy outside of tossing a ball inside the house.

I’ve been married for a while now (5+ years) but feeling completely checked out. My wife has zero conflict resolution skills and can’t control her anxiety, so we constantly bicker if I ever do anything that offends her, and she wants to spend all her time talking about the constantly changing projects she will never start. I can’t ever talk about anything that worries me because she just freaks out. We have kids and she has no ability to earn money so leaving would be impossible financially

Hi,
Need some advice. My pet had been eating his kebble food on a consistent basis. Then I introduced a bit of raw chicken into his kebble and loved having it even more. But now I'm realizing that if I don't add chicken, he just doesn't eat his regular kebble food. What should I do? (Don't want to feed chicken every day)

How do you take care of your dog if you travel for work with your dog? Does your dog get enough exercises when you’re in travel? If it’s possible, I would like to know everything.
