🧠 Do Dogs Get Bored of Summer Too? Here’s How to Keep Pool Days Exciting

Posted by Mohsan Iqbal


Because yes — your dog can get over it. Unless you make it awesome.


You’re planning another summer pool day.
You’ve got the treats. The towel. The toys.

But guess what?
Your dog might be bored. 😱

Yes, even with all that effort.

Dogs thrive on newness, stimulation, and surprise.
If every pool day looks the same, they start to tune out — just like humans do.

But don’t worry. Here’s how to keep the tail wags going strong all summer long.


🐾 1. Change the Pool Setup

Move the lounger. Add new water-safe toys. Create zones: splash zone, chill zone, and snack zone.

Small changes = big mental refresh for your pup.


🎾 2. Add a Game (Not Just Fetch)

Try “Treasure Dive” — drop sinking toys they can “rescue.”
Or float treats on small leaf boats they have to catch. 🛶

Enrichment + challenge = fun that sticks.


💡 3. Introduce a “Guest Floater”

Invite a dog friend over!
New energy changes everything.
(Pssst: Make sure every dog has their own Lazy Dog Lounger — sharing = sinking.)


📸 4. Turn It Into a Photo Shoot

Dogs love attention. Make them feel famous.
Float, pose, treat. Repeat.
Bonus: You’ll have the cutest IG content of the season. 📷


🎧 5. Add New Sounds

Try music playlists designed for dogs — yes, they exist.
Or play nature sounds, gentle waves, or even relaxing dog affirmations.

Sound can change the entire mood of the experience.


🐶 6. Let Them Choose the Fun

Offer 3 floating toys or games. Let them pick what they interact with first.

Autonomy builds excitement and engagement.


💦 The Secret Weapon: A Lounger That Keeps It Fresh

The Lazy Dog Lounger® is perfect because:

  • It lets them float, chill, or jump on/off at their pace

  • It feels different every time — because water is dynamic

  • It gives them a sense of ownership in a world that’s usually “human-only”


💬 Bottom Line?

Yes, dogs get bored.
But with a little creativity, their summer can stay exciting, enriching, and tail-wag approved.
