Do you think my dog is too bored?

Question

More than half the day she is in her play pen, this is because im still toilet training her, (its much bigger then a crate, she can last in it but once out she'll be in the hse).

So other then walks and mayb an hour in the house ( or less), she has toys and water and a bed in there, do you think its ok for her to be there? i kinda feel bad, since she is there so often

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Well maybe you should go play with her sometimes. But even if she wasn't in the play pen she'd be doing the same thing. Dogs are sometimes just lazy and act that way. You're dog is doing a lot I dont think it will get too bored. It's just how dogs are.

Answer 3

you should try getting more active with your dog, my dog was like this, but then i started playing with him,nudge her a little, play fetch, twiddle her toys above her head, give her treats sometimes,thats what i did with my dog, now hes so lively, sometimes theres dragonflies near his doghouse , and he`ll try to bite at them in a really play full way. he normally has something to gnaw on tho, like one of those balls that you put a treat in the middle and he messes with the ball until some of the treats come out.

i hope this helps, it did on mine!

Answer 4

It's possible she is bored. She shouldn't be in there so often. When I was potty training my dog I had a crate for her. But she wasn't in it very often. I tied a leash to me and my dog just had to go wherever I went. Do that with your dog. An hour walk around the house is not long enough. And your dog should probably be getting an hour walk outside every day.
