Fall-Inspired Treat Scavenger Hunt for Your Dog

Hey, Palace Squad! 🐕🍂

Fall is here, and you know what that means, it’s time to add some excitement to your dog’s daily routine! One of the easiest and most fun ways to do that is by creating a fall-themed scavenger hunt right in your backyard (or even inside, if the weather’s not cooperating). It’s not only a great way to keep your pup mentally engaged, but it’s also an excuse to spoil them with some of their favorite treats.

Here’s how it works: grab a mix of treats like Lamb Munchies and Turkey Bites and hide them around the yard or house. Think behind pumpkins, under leaves, or even inside a cozy blanket fort (yes, I went there). The goal? Let your dog’s nose do the work. They’ll be sniffing out those treats like a mini Sherlock Holmes, minus the magnifying glass.

Why is this so much fun for them? Because dogs love to work their brains, and turning treat time into a game is the perfect way to challenge their problem-solving skills. Plus watching them go wild over a hidden treat is pretty hilarious.

Some pro tips to make your scavenger hunt even more fun:

  • Start simple: If this is your dog’s first scavenger hunt, start with easy hiding spots. Try placing a treat under a leaf or behind a pumpkin where they can see part of it. As they get better at finding them, you can step up your hiding game.

  • Mix it up: Use a combination of treats. Turkey Bites are small and easy to hide, while Lamb Munchies are a bit bigger, making them a more rewarding find. Variety keeps your pup interested and excited.

  • Add a challenge: Hide treats in harder-to-reach places, like under a pile of leaves or inside a plush toy. Watch as your dog sniffs out their prize and goes to work figuring out how to get to it.

Not only is this game a fun way to celebrate fall, but it also keeps your dog busy (which is great for those days when you’re juggling a million things and need a little peace and quiet). So go ahead—get creative with the hiding spots, and let your dog enjoy a fall scavenger hunt that’s all about them! 🧡
