- Treasure Hunt: Hide treats around your backyard and encourage your dog to sniff them out. It's a mentally stimulating game that's both fun and rewarding.
- Agility Course: Create a mini agility course using household items like cones, hula hoops, and tunnels. It's a fun way to challenge your dog's physical abilities.
- Water Balloon Toss: Fill up some water balloons and have a friendly toss with your dog. Just make sure the balloons are dog-friendly and not too small.
- Frisbee Golf: Set up a makeshift frisbee golf course in your backyard and see how many throws it takes for your dog to catch the frisbee in each designated area.
- Hide and Seek: Have your dog stay while you hide, then call them to find you. It's a great game for mental stimulation and bonding.
