Have you ever thought to yourself ‘I wonder if my pup has the potential to be the next 'Paw-casso?’
Well, I recently stumbled upon TikTok's dog painting challenge, and I must say, I think it is both utterly hilarious and heartwarming! Read on to find out more and how could could get involved…
What is the Dog Painting Challenge?
The dog painting challenge is a TikTok trend where pet owners help their dogs create their own "dog paintings."
To get set up is simple and requires minimal supplies. You basically start with various paint splatters set up on a mini canvas, then slip the wall art canvas into a Ziploc bag slathered with peanut butter or another spreadable treat (that you know your dog will love!). Once the wall art canvas is secure, let your dog lick the peanut butter off the bag. The end result? An abstract animal artwork masterpiece that only your four-legged friend could create.

Step-by-Step Guide to the Dog Painting Challenge
Want to help your pup create a fabulous piece of animal art of their own? Here's a simple guide to get you started:
- Step 1: Gather Your Supplies: You'll need a small wall art canvas, acrylic paints, a Ziploc bag, and peanut butter or any spreadable treat that you know your dog loves.
- Step 2: Prepare the Wall Art Canvas: Splatter a few different paint colours onto the wall art canvas. You can use as many or as few colours as you like. Don't worry about making it perfect; the messier, the better!
- Step 3: Secure the Wall Art Canvas: Carefully slide the painted canvas into the Ziploc bag. Make sure the bag is sealed tightly.
- Step 4: Add the Treat: Spread a nice generous layer of peanut butter on the outside of the Ziploc bag, this will be the incentive for your dog to lick the bag.
- Step 5: Watch the Magic Happen: Put the ziploc bag on the floor and encourage your dog to lick the peanut butter off. As they lick, the paint will spread and create beautifully unique patterns that make up their beautiful piece of animal artwork.
- Step 6: Reveal the Animal Art Masterpiece: Once your dog has finished licking, take the canvas out of the bag and set it aside to dry. Voila! You've got yourself a one-of-a-kind piece of animal art created by your very talented pooch!
