French Bulldog Enrichment: Games and Activities
The AKC rates the French Bulldog 3/5 for mental stimulation needs: a mix of easy games and the odd harder puzzle works well.
With a playfulness score of 5/5, games with you tend to go down well.
Activities to try with your French Bulldog
Flirt pole chase
A lure on a rope at the end of a pole that your dog chases along the ground: lots of exercise in a few minutes.
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.
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.
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.
Frozen stuffed toy
A rubber toy stuffed with part of your dog's meal and frozen. It takes much longer to empty and keeps your dog busy and calm.
