And how Chrysidis Pet Care can help

Dogs need more than just food and a comfy bed—they need stimulation, routine, and social interaction to stay happy and healthy. If you’re often out during the day or working late, your dog could be showing signs of boredom without you even realizing it.

At Chrysidis Pet Care in Gateshead, I offer day care and after-4PM walks to help dogs stay active, engaged, and emotionally balanced. Here are common signs your dog might be bored—and what you can do about it.

1. Chewing or Destructive Behaviour

Is your dog chewing furniture, shoes, or digging at doors? Boredom is often the cause—especially if it happens while you’re out.

2. Excessive Barking or Whining

Dogs that bark or cry constantly when left alone may be looking for attention or release from built-up energy.

3. Restlessness or Pacing

If your dog can’t settle—even after food or a walk—they may not be mentally or physically tired enough.

4. Low Energy or Lethargy

Some bored dogs shut down and sleep more than they should. They need stimulation to stay emotionally healthy.

5. Attention-Seeking or Clingy Behaviour

When you’re home, do they demand your constant attention? That could be a sign they’ve had too little interaction during the day.
