My Golden chewed the couch after 90-min walks. Then I tried 10 minutes of scent games.

He finally settled. Scent trailing around the house = mental workout that tires them out. Full guide:

If your dog finishes a food puzzle in seconds, don't always buy a harder one. Try freezing part of their meal in the same toy, adding a towel around it, or hiding the toy somewhere easy to find first. Change the game before changing the equipment. #dogenrichment

Try a 5-minute scent game with two cups. Hide a treat under one, let your dog investigate, then swap positions and repeat. Keep it easy enough that they can succeed without help. #dogenrichment

Turn today's walk into a game of Nature Bingo by noticing the little things together. Every scent, sound, and discovery is another opportunity to better understand your dog and enjoy the world through their eyes.

If your dog gets bored with toys quickly, try rotating them instead of leaving everything out all the time. Put a few away for several days, then bring one back and make a little game of rediscovering it together. #dogenrichment

If your dog loses interest in a food puzzle, don't automatically make it harder. Put it away for a few days, then bring it back a little easier. Sometimes novelty and an easy win are enough to make the game interesting again. #dogenrichment

If your dog rushes through meals, use part of breakfast as a quick search game. Scatter kibble across a towel or a safe patch of grass and let their nose do the work. No fancy equipment needed. #dogenrichment

A quick game of Hide and Seek can turn a few quiet minutes into shared fun. Your dog gets to sniff, explore, and enjoy the best part of the game—finding you. Sometimes the simplest activities create the biggest smiles.

Before throwing away a cardboard delivery box, hide a few treats inside crumpled paper and let your dog investigate. Supervise, remove anything they might swallow, and you've turned recycling into a quick scent game. #dogenrichment

Same rug, same hour, a little more peace in the room.

Build a cozy little retreat with blankets, pillows, or your dog's favorite bed, then spend a few quiet minutes together. Sometimes the strongest connections are built in the calmest moments.
