You loved playing hide and seek as a kid so why not play with your dog? Take your pet's favorite treats and hide them around the house. Put your pet in a stay position (or just put him in another room while you hide the treats), then tell him to go find it. He'll have fun searching the house and it might even occupy him for hours.
Play dates aren't just for kids. If your pet has a favorite canine or feline friend then why not invite them over to play indoors? Make sure equal toys and treats are provided so no fighting occurs. Even the best of friends can fight over their favorite toy.
If you have a snow day or extra time on the weekend, then why not spend your time playing with your pet? If your dog loves to chase the ball then throw it in the house (ensuring you don't break anything or risk anyone getting hurt). If you have a cat try engaging your kitty in a mouse hunt (with a fake mouse of course), or a ball of yarn. Your pet will appreciate the intellectual stimulation as well as the bonding experience.
Road trips and errands aren't just for humans - pets love them too! If you have to dart to the post office or pick up your dry cleaning, why not put your pet in the car with you?
Day care is all the rage amongst dog owners nowadays. If you have a high energy dog this will be the perfect opportunity for him to burn off that excess energy and meet new friends.
