In this second episode of our mini-series 'Busy Life, Happy Dog,' we dive into the common barriers that might be stopping you from including regular games and activities in your dog’s daily routine. Whether it’s a lack of time, uncertainty about where to start, or the belief that physical exercise alone is enough, we address these challenges head-on.

Discover how even small, daily activities can prevent behavioral issues, strengthen your bond with your dog, and keep them calm and content, no matter how busy life gets. We’ll also explore why mental stimulation is just as crucial as physical exercise and how it can help prevent overstimulation and stress. Plus, get practical tips on making playtime a natural part of your dog’s day, even with a packed schedule.
