Slick the Australian shepherd will play fetch until he drops of heat stroke! His owner is a busy professional who really only has time for fetch, so she just puts up with the barking and clawing. Slick and his owner should probably avoid fetch because of the problems that it causes. Again, nosework would be a great option for teaching Slick to slow down and work independently. Turbo the French Bulldog has a really hard time breathing due to poor breeding. Rally Obedience would be a safer option for Turbo that would also allow his owner to work out his competitive streak.
Argos the German Shepherd hates other dogs. He barks, lunges, snarls, and would bite if he got the chance. He also gets overwhelmed easily and has snapped when people touch his hips or startle him.
Argos is probably not ready to play off-leash at the park in case other dogs show up. On top of that, rough housing with him is dangerous for his owner. Argos might enjoy playing with a flirt pole in the backyard or exploring various sports that keep dogs separate from others during class and competition. Think carefully about the physical and mental characteristics of your dog as you decide what games to play going forward. My border collie and I play almost all of the games below and dabble in many of the sports.
I have many dog trainer friends whose training skills are even more honed than mine who do not do the same due to physical or behavioral constraints on their dogs.
It might be that your dog is easily stressed and finds tug-of-war scary. I promise. I actually have tried each of these games, so feel free to reach out to me for more information on the games or how to get started! These games were largely created by professional trainers and aim to teach your dog impulse control or other specific skills.
If you just play one or two games, try games from this category! Many are easy and just require food, so you can play them anywhere with any dog that eats. Start with food in your closed hand. Your dog will nibble at your hand, dig, whine, and all the rest. As soon as she backs off, open your hand. If she dives back in for more, close your hand again. This game gets progressively harder as you teach your dog to sit and wait patiently for increasingly tempting things.
The basic gist of it is easy: get your dog really excited about something wrestling, fetch, happy talk, tug and then start cueing different behaviors. The reward for complying with your cue is re-starting the game. For example, Barley loves playing tug. After a few seconds, I cue him to drop it.
When he complies, I ask him for one of his tricks paw, shake, up, down, roll over, etc. When he complies with that, we start tugging again. This is a great game for helping your dog come when called.
Enlist the whole family and do this game indoors or out. Have everyone spread out, so each person is several feet from the next? If outside, you can have everyone stand in various locations around the yard. Each person needs a handful of treats. When she comes to the person who called, she gets a treat and praise. Play a few games that will actually help teach your dog a few things. Try one or more of these out and enjoy quality time with your fur baby.
While many dogs will simply tire out and take a nap after playing these games, some pups seem to get even more riled up! Another fun game to play with your dog is hide and seek. Hide and seek lets your dog use some of their natural scent tracking abilities in a fun and stimulating way.
To play hide and seek have you dog stay while you go find a hiding spot. Once situated call your dog and praise them when they find you. What are some of your favorite games to play with your dog? Which games does your dog prefer? Do you think playing games with your dog is an important part of the dog-owner relationship? Let me know in the comments below. Also her names Bella she a mix boxer pit bull black her under her neck and her belly is white the tip of her paws are also white. We use the find it game.
That is the one we play in the house the most. I will unclip her and throw a treat, telling her to find it. Sometimes she sees it fall, and sometimes she has to sniff it out. The main goal for me is to work with her off-leash. I think she is slowly coming to terms that sticking close with me is what gets her the reward.
Well there is another tip too! You can also try using Exurising it may work For your dog all you have too do is try to use fetch and pluse be Good! Trying that out! Spirit loves to play hide and seek. When he finds me he gets a nice treat.
I love watching him look in all the spots I hide in and then he stands and listens for me. My dog loves tug of war…but he thinks whatever he grabs and I try to take it..
My puppies love to play tug-of-war and hide and go seek! Its hilarious when they win. You can place treats at different points to keep him encouraged throughout the playtime. To do so, all you have to do is, take broken boxes, place chairs to make your pup crawl through. Also, you can add stacks of books or big cushions to make him jump. Add cones or poles to restrict his movements. And, don't forget to mark his path with the help of a rope or just chalk it out with directions.
This way, your dog will get both of the mental and physical simulations in a fun-packed way. Agility training is a superb way to spend quality time outside with your pup. It includes exercises that will improve your dog's behavior and provide a good quotient of mental stimulation in a fun way.
So, how to play with your dog then? Well, you'll need an open space first to set up poles using household objects like chairs, stands, even your friends or family members can also be the pole to make your pup weave around. Initially, you can maneuver around the poles to make your pup run behind you through the same path. When your dog becomes familiar, let him do this on his own. You can create different patterns and when your dog completes each, treat him instantly.
Is your dog a water baby? If yes, then nothing can be better than splashing in the water, especially on a hot summer day. If you have a lake or any water body nearby, take your pup out there and take balls or other floating toys. Don't forget the life jacket for your dog, though. Fetching in the water will really unleash the pool of enjoyment in your dog.
Plus, swimming is excellent exercise. Splashing in the water will burn off lots of energy and cool him down at the same time.
