I feel bad when I have to leave for work and my dog is at home all day with no one to keep her entertained and was wondering what keeps their dog preoccupied?

Are you sure she's bored. What does she do to make you think that way? In general Cavaliers are lazy lap dogs. They are happiest just being with you where ever that may be. In most cases when a dog is bored they act out in frustration. Chewing up your belongings and such. Digging holes in the yard, etc. But it's unlikely she's showing that behavior. Cavaliers are easy dogs. To make her feel like she's being stimulated and a part of your life. Take her to pet store with you when you buy her food and toys. Take her any place that allow dogs. Cavaliers love their people so they're game for anything that involves being with you by your side.

A Kong, fill it with a dog approved filling (purchased at the pet store) put it in the freezer overnight and give it to your lovely darling the next day after breakfast when your leaving and it will keep the little darling busy for hours.

Run with the dog outside. A restless dog just needs to use up some energy. If youwalk or run for a good distance (depending on the dog) to where they get tired, they will not need to be distracted with toys, furniture, etc. They need that stuff whent hey are bored

The only thing I would trust my dog alone with is a Kong stuffed with peanut butter and frozen overnight.
When I am home they looove empty water bottles! Chase them around like crazy. As long as you don't mind the noise they're great. LOL Do NOT give somethng like that to your dog alone though.

A Kong, for sure. I put some of her regular dog food in it, then the peanut butter on top of that, then freeze. Rope toys are good, as are Nylabones, they are edible chew bones. Good luck!

My boxer is completely infatuated with rope toys! She always goes straight for it whenever she gets excited or wants to play. As for something to occupy her we recently got her a kong toy, and she will chew on that thing to her hearts content!

mine loves things he can chew and balls. his prefer ed toy(it wasn't a toy but he took it anyway) is a long ''bear'' the one u put at the door so it stays warm inside the room. when i leave him a long time alone i give him a ball with little holes in it where u can put food and he has to get it out.u can buy it in stores and pet shops

A Kong with frozen peanut butter seemed to do the trick for my pug puppy.
