3 Activities to Help Your Pups Beat the Winter Blues
When the weather gets colder, we inevitably want to hide inside more often, and our dogs can tend to share that habit. And when we're stuck indoors, we all, of course, experience those Winter blues. This weekend, if you and your pup find yourselves feeling down in the dumps during this crazy blizzard, try one of these activity ideas from DogVacay that you both can enjoy together.

Build a Blanket Fort
Bring the outdoors in, and make a fort out of some blankets and your furniture. Gather some of your dog's favorite toys, and toss them around your indoor fortress. Grab a cup of tea and a good book for yourself while you spend the afternoon in this new hideout with your furry friend.
Stage an Indoor Winter Olympics
What better way to work off that excess energy than by staging your own indoor Winter games? Have your pup stay put while you hide treats around your house. Let him loose to find all the treats you've scattered.
Play Hide-and-Seek
To play hide-and-seek, your dog will need to know the "stay" command. Ask your dog to stay, and then very quietly hide yourself away somewhere in the house. Once you’re out of sight, release your dog from his "stay." Wait patiently for that delightful moment when he finds you!
