Indoors or outdoors – enjoying a game with your dog is affiliated with being a top-notch owner. When the weather is complimentary, bring your pal outside for some play time. Catch is a timeless game that you and your pooch can enjoy together. Find an open area with running room and bring along a flying disc or a ball for some tossing. If playing catch has become routine, switch it up. Similar to playing fetch is a game called Flyball. Set up about four jumps with a box at the end with some sort of bait inside (a ball will work just fine). Train your dog to complete the jumps, head towards the box, retrieve the ball, and bring it back without dropping it. The more often this game is practiced, the better your dog will become. Once your canine is fairly fluent in Flyball, invite other athletic dogs to participate in a relay – the game is great fun (and exercise)! If you take pleasure in bike rides, bring along your friend – obedient dogs who work well on leashes make for wonderful biking buddies. When the weather is drab there are still an abundance of indoor games for you and your pooch to partake in. Grab a favored dog toy and teach your dog to play hide-and-seek, or even hide yourself. This classic game can carry on for hours if you allow, dogs get a kick out of it. Tug-of-war is also a way to burn some energy off your dog indoors if you have a dog rope toy available. Instilling new tricks is a great way to build obedience with your pooch while keeping them entertained (keep some delicious dog treats on hand). Regardless of the forecast, games with your dog are endless – just pick one and start playing!
