Happy Dog Challenges
Fun Challenges
for You and Your Dog
Complete fun challenges with your dog at your own pace, earn a real rosette posted straight to your door. Open to every dog, every breed, every age, and every ability across the UK.
Good for your dog, good for you
A mentally stimulated dog is a happier dog. Our challenges give your dog something to do, something to think about, and something to earn alongside you.
Mental Stimulation
A mentally tired dog is a settled dog. Our challenges engage natural instincts like sniffing, exploring, and problem-solving, and keep boredom and destructive behaviour at bay.
Stronger Bond
Every activity you complete together builds trust and communication between you and your dog. These moments add up to something really good.
No Equipment Needed
Most activities use things you already own. No expensive kit, no specialist equipment. Just you, your dog, and a bit of time.
Every Dog Welcome
Nervous rescue, elderly Labrador, boisterous Border Collie, or tiny Chihuahua. Our challenges are designed for every kind of dog and every kind of owner.
A Real Rosette
Complete the challenge and we post a proper physical rosette to your door. Something tangible to mark what you and your dog did together.

A real rosette,
posted to your door
Not a digital badge. Not a certificate you print yourself. A proper physical rosette that arrives in the post, something you and your dog actually earned.
From dog owners across the UK
My rescue dog Bonnie was so anxious when I adopted her but working through the challenge activities has genuinely transformed her confidence. The rosette arriving in the post was such a lovely moment.
Clear and easy to follow, even for me with my 9-year-old Labrador Benson. He absolutely loved the activities. We are already looking forward to the next challenge.
What I love most is that it uses things I already own. My two Spaniels were kept busy for weeks and the photos we got along the way are brilliant.
