Games You Can Play With Your Dog
Dogs need mental and physical stimulation. They're also very inquisitive creatures, and they love spending time with their owners, and other people in your family. By playing games with your dog, you can reduce boredom, give him chance to display his natural jumping behavior, and reduce any destructive activity he might be doing in your home. Also, by controlling the games, you'll be able to reinforce your authority as the pack leader. Here's Some Constructive Games You Can Play: Catch The Frisbee You can also play similar retrieval games using a ball. This is good way to improve your dog's reactions and obedience. Remember: Always throw the ball away from your dog, not towards it. Here's why: If you throw a ball directly towards a dog, he may try to catch it in mid air, and it can get stuck in his throat. Playing Hide & Seek Playing Tug-of-War Jogging Following a Scent Important Note: When you've finished playing with your dog, you should make a point of putting his toys away into their own box or bag. Your dog will soon learn that the toys belong to you, and that he's only allowed to play with them when you give them to him. This will make the toys more appealing and desirable, which means you can use them as powerful rewards when you're having a training session. The toys will also keep your dog contented for longer when he's left alone, if he isn't allowed them all the time.
