For this exercise, I decided to try it this morning while it was raining since walking wasn’t an option. This was something that Beezus really enjoyed and while she found it tough at first (she got distracted easily and was trying to destroy the obstacles haha), she did get it and had a lot of fun! I used boxes from my basement and set up down there, taking her old food bowl and one of our camping bowls along with her breakfast. After a bit of setting up and teaching her how to actually try to do it properly (and adjusting it so she understood), she had a lot of fun and it definitely tired her out when we couldn’t go outside because of the rain. I don’t have a video unfortunately (I forgot), but she definitely did enjoy it! Walks aren’t…

Beezus, you nailed the Trail Puzzle challenge!

I LOVE how you adapted the activity indoors, it’s such a perfect example of what this challenge is all about: meeting dogs where they’re at, especially when weather (or stress!) throws a curveball. 🙌

Your creativity with the boxes and bowls is next-level, and the way you supported her through the learning curve shows such deep understanding and care. 💚

I’m so proud of you both! Beezus is officially a Trail Puzzle Pioneer 🧩🌿 and this post is pure encouragement for others looking for calming, enriching alternatives to walks.

Thanks for sharing: can’t wait to see what badge you and Beezus tackle next! 🥾💫

Jube is working on hers! I’m extending the summer camp so I can do my move then hit the ground running in August!
