Prank Your Pup This April Fools' Day
Every April first, the internet is full of hysterical jokes, outlandish tricks, and playful pranks to play on your family and friends. We have all used the spring day as an excuse to fool a friend, but have you ever tried to pull a prank on your pup? There is no reason that your four-legged friend should not be included in all the madness! Get creative and plan the perfect prank.
The Ol’ Switcheroo
If your puppy is prone to begging, trick them a little bit with a tasty surprise. Instead of offering their typical treat as a reward, switch it up with one of Pup Corn’s three recipes. Your dog will be delightfully confused as they crunch on the new snack.
Change the Tune Up
Confuse your canine and change your phone alerts to new tunes. You can use a squeaky toy sound or even a cat’s meow. Your pup will not know where to look or if there is another animal in the house. If you try this trick, prepare yourself for the possibility of barking and zoomies.
Fake the Pass
A trick as old a time: the fake throw. Fool your furry friend with the classic fake throw when you head outside to play fetch. Pretend to toss the ball but then hide the ball quickly behind your back. Record their reaction with your phone to see the confusion cross their snout.
Throw Them a Bone
This prank is perfect for families with stairs! Grab a bone, tie it to a string, then dangle it over the banister when your pup struts by. When they aim for the bone, yank it out of reach! Only play this prank for a few minutes, you do not want to lose your pup’s trust.
What the Fluff?
All you need for this prank is a blanket and a quick getaway hallway. You may have seen this trend circulate the internet over the past few years. The trick is simple: hold up a blanket in front of you, poke your head over so your dog knows you are behind it, then lift it up and run away before the blanket falls. Your confused canine will not know what happened.
Blanket Ghoul
This trick simply requires a blanket and some monster noises! Drape the blanket over yourself then make goofy and ghoulish sounds. Wave your arms around and chase your dear dog around the house. If your pupper is the timid type, do not try this.
Abracadabra
If you have magic skills that are not stage-ready, show your dog the tricks up your sleeve! Use your act to make your dog’s Pup Corn treats vanish before their very eyes. Be sure to reward your pup the treat after you are done pranking.
What is the Point?
Although this prank can be fun, it can also be an exercise! Grab your office laser pointer and let your pup chase the mysterious red dot across the house. Film the fun!
Pranking your pup can be an absolute delight! Be sure you do not take things too far or do anything to lose the trust and respect of your precious pal.
