| Boredom Busters for your Canine Companion |
After the long summer holidays, with plenty of attention from all the family, does your dog suddenly find himself locked in the backyard with nothing to do?
Boredom can create a number of problems for the family pet, with behavioural issues such as barking, digging holes and destructive chewing common outcomes.
To combat backyard boredom here are a number of simple ideas:
• Provide plenty of toys to entertain your pet
Made from a tough but flexible natural rubber compound, "Kongs" can be stuffed with your pet's food or favourite treats for chewing satisfaction and the added benefit of clean teeth!
The KONG Wobbler is the newest interactive, treat-dispensing dog toy to come from KONG. Made of high-strength plastic, the Wobbler will entice your dog to discover how to get treats out of it, rather than simply destroying it.
If your dog likes to play, the KONG Wubba is a fun, interactive toss and tug toy. Durable reinforced nylon fabric covers two balls - a tennis ball on top and a squeaker ball beneath, and the long tails make it easy to pick up and throw.
Starmarks Everlasting Treat Ball and Everlasting Bento Ball will provide hours of interactive chewing fun for dogs. Made from a soft yet durable puncture resistant material, it will hold up to even the toughest chewers, and the unique design allows it to wobble and roll erratically.
• Ensure your pet has adequate exercise every day
Many breeds will require a walk morning and night to stay happy and healthy. Get the family involved and you'll all reap the benefits. Alternatively, find a Dog Walker in your area!
• Enroll in a Dog Training course
You'll be spending more quality time with your now better-behaved pet, with the added benefits of providing mental stimulation and socialisation for your dog in the process. There are several Dog Training Clubs operating in the St Ives area on weekdays and weekends.
Finally, for those owners who have pets suffering major separation anxiety, several Doggy Day Care facilities have opened up in Sydney. These centres cater to working pet owners who don't want to leave their canine companions alone in the backyard. Dogs need to be friendly and social to be accepted.
Please contact St Ives Purr-fect Pets for more information, and for friendly service and advice on any of your pets needs.
St Ives Purr-fect Pets is located at Shop 25C, Phone 9144 7007.
SPECIAL OFFER!
Save $5 on the purchase of a kong, everlasting treat ball or bento ball when you mention this article. Offer valid for the month of February only, at St Ives Purr-fect Pets.
