Keeping tails wagging this winter: indoor fun for you and your dog

When it’s cold, grey, and your dog looks at you like ‘surely you’re not suggesting a walk in that’, it’s time to make the most of the great indoors. The good news? Winter doesn’t have to mean boredom. With a little imagination (and a few treats), you can keep your dog’s mind busy and their tail wagging without always stepping paw outside.

 

The great indoor sniffari

Your dog’s nose is their superpower, and our snuffle toys are the perfect way to let them use it. Sprinkle in some treats or kibble, ruffle the fabric, and let them hunt away. It’s enrichment, entertainment, and a workout for their brain - all rolled into one delightfully snuffly session.

 

Spa day, love my human style

If you can’t face the muddy parks and drizzle, why not bring the relaxation indoors? Our grooming treatments are designed to soothe, de-shed, and leave coats soft, glossy and smelling divine. It’s the ultimate pick-me-up for dogs who prefer warm towels to wet walks - and an easy way to keep them looking (and feeling) their best through the winter months.

 

Teach a new trick (or two)

Shorter days mean more time at home, which makes it the perfect season to teach a new trick. Whether it’s ‘spin’, ‘paw’, or ‘tidy up your toys’, training keeps your dog mentally sharp and builds your bond. Plus, the smug feeling when they finally master it? Priceless.

 

A visit to the Love My Human Townhouse Café

Of course, sometimes you do want to get out - just not into the rain. That’s where our Townhouse Café comes in. Nestled on the King’s Road in Chelsea, it’s a cosy retreat where both humans and hounds can relax in style. Warm up with a silky flat white (or a puppuccino for your four-legged friend) and indulge in our freshly baked treats. Dogs can lounge comfortably while you catch up with friends, or simply watch the world go by from the warmth of our townhouse. It’s the perfect winter outing for sociable pups and their humans - no umbrellas required!

 

Movie night, pup edition

Grab a blanket, make some popcorn (for you) and snacks (for them), and settle in for a cosy night. Your dog doesn’t care what’s on TV - they just want to be next to you. But for the record, anything featuring other dogs gets bonus tail wags!

Create an indoor adventure 

Rainy weekend? No problem. Turn your living room into an adventure zone - cushions for climbing, tunnels from blankets, and a gentle agility course with whatever’s on hand. It doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to be fun!

Final thoughts

Winter might bring muddy paws and soggy leads, but it’s also a time for slowing down, snuggling up, and trying new things together. Whether it’s a spa session, a snuffle hunt, or a sofa cuddle, keeping your dog happy indoors can be just as rewarding as a long sunny walk. After all, Love My Human is all about celebrating the bond - rain, snow, or shine.
