02 / MAKE A LITTLE ROOM FOR PLAY
A week of good dog days.
One small idea a day. Add your own toy notes, swap what doesn’t fit, and keep the things your dog enjoys.
Calendar export uses all-day events, so it does not prescribe an activity time.

Clear all seven activities and toy notes from this browser?
Build a week you can actually use
Start with one or two familiar favorites. The seven days are places to organize ideas, not a requirement to fill every slot. Repeat a suitable game, change your mind, or leave room for rest.
- Choose an activity. Pick from a day’s dropdown, or use the activity finder to narrow ideas by time, space, noise, and equipment. Adding from the finder fills the first empty day.
- Check “How to play.” The link opens that activity’s instructions in the finder. Review the setup before trying it.
- Write one useful note. Record the toy, location, easier version, or something you noticed. Each day has space for a short note of up to 160 characters.
A simple planning example
Put a familiar search on a day when you can supervise, repeat a favorite shared game later in the week, and leave other days open. A note such as “use the clear corner by the rug” records the setup. Afterward, replace it with what you actually observed. This is an organizational example, not an exercise prescription.
What “Fill empty days” does
On this page, “Fill empty days” adds a mix from the activity library to empty days. It keeps activities and notes you have already entered. It does not check your dog’s needs or the equipment in your home, so review each choice and change or remove anything that does not fit.
To choose around specific constraints, use the finder’s filters and add individual ideas. On the homepage, where both tools appear together, the fill button uses the filters currently selected there.
One browser. One shared week.
Your plan saves automatically in this browser on this device, and is shared across the homepage, finder, and planner. It does not sync through an account or across devices. Clearing this site’s browser data can erase it, and private browsing may keep it only for that session.
If browser saving is unavailable, the tool shows a message. Use Share / save PDF to create a one-page copy directly in the browser, or Export calendar (.ics) to create all-day calendar entries for the activities you chose. The calendar export does not assign an exercise time. Read our privacy policy for how planner storage and site measurement work.
Without JavaScript, the page provides a standard seven-day form that can build a printable week and export an .ics calendar file without saving the plan to the server.

Using your planner
Can I move an activity to a different day?
Choose that activity in the new day’s dropdown, then change the original day to “Leave room for rest” or another idea. Notes belong to each day, so copy any note you want to keep with the activity.
Will clearing my week remove my notes?
Yes. “Clear my week” asks you to confirm before it removes the seven activities and notes. Cancel if you want to keep them, or print a copy before confirming.
Can I save the planner as a PDF or calendar?
Yes. “Share / save PDF” creates a one-page PDF from your current browser-saved week. “Export calendar (.ics)” creates all-day calendar entries using the week-beginning date you choose. Your notes are included as event descriptions.
Do I need a new activity every day?
No. Use this as a reminder for suitable opportunities you can supervise. A familiar favorite can be repeated, and an empty planner slot is fine. These activities complement your dog’s wider care; a completed week is not a health or training goal.
