Cardigan Welsh Corgi Enrichment: Games and Activities
The AKC rates the Cardigan Welsh Corgi 4/5 for mental stimulation needs, so puzzles, scent games and short training sessions are worth building into every week, not just walks.
It scores 4/5 for energy, so active games like tug, hide and seek and sniff walks help burn it off.
With a playfulness score of 4/5, games with you tend to go down well.
Activities to try with your Cardigan Welsh Corgi
Living-room obstacle course
A mini agility course from things you already have: chairs to weave round, a box to go through, books to step over.
Hide and seek with you
Your dog waits in one room while you hide, then finds you when you call. No food or equipment needed.
Tug with rules
Short rounds of tug that end on a "drop it", so your dog gets a burst of play and a lesson in self-control at the same time.
Sniff walk
A slow walk where your dog chooses the direction and the pace and gets to sniff as long as they like. Twenty to thirty minutes can tire a dog as much as a longer, faster walk.
Muffin tin shell game
Treats hidden in a muffin tin under tennis balls. Your dog has to move the balls and use their nose to find the right cups.
Digging pit with buried toys
A kiddie pool or sandbox of clean sand where digging is allowed, with toys buried for your dog to find.
