No walks? Indoor games for fearful dogs

Mar 17, 2026

Getting enough exercise and mental stimulation can help calm a dog's anxiety. But what do you do if your anxious dog is afraid to go for walks? 

Luckily, there are some great ways to give your fearful dog plenty of indoor exercise and enrichment. I've shared two of the games that are most popular with my students in this video. Take a look, and tell me what you think! 

Have you tried either of the games I show in the video?  Leave me a comment or question below the video on YouTube and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
