1 min readCreative Ways to Keep Puppies Busy and Happy

August 19, 2022 By Deanna

A busy puppy is a happy puppy. We all know that puppies can be a handful from time to time. Puppies often suffer from boredom just as we humans do. The difference is that when puppies get bored they usually find something to do. Unfortunately, we may not always be fond of their ways of receiving boredom. Chewing on your end table or tugging on your kitchen curtains are less than ideal-boredom busters.

I hope the list below gives you some great ideas on how to keep your puppy busy in an appropriate and mentally stimulating manner. Check out my Amazon page link below for more ideas on keeping your puppy occupied. (https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/31T4PG3CU0ND3/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_4)

Creative ways to keep your puppy busy:

  • A stuffed Kong
  • Puppy puzzles
  • Snuffle Mats
  • Treat dispensers
  • Scavenger hunts
  • Go on a walk
  • Tug of War

About Deanna

Hello my name is Dee! I am the breeder behind Arizona Sunrise Shih Tzus located in Goodyear, Arizona. All of my adults are health tested. Puppies are raised on an advanced curriculum which includes socialization essentials such as Early Neurological Stimulation, Early Scent Introduction, Sound Desensitization, Sensory Exposure Desensitization and so much more.
Furthermore, puppies receive an introduction to a basic recall, verbal marker training, crate practice, etc. All puppies are temperament tested to help families choose a puppy that will blend in with their lifestyle. Puppies go home with a prepaid lifetime membership to Baxter & Bella's training program & one month of free insurance through Trupanion.
