Having fun with your dog - Pet Care Information
 Here
are some great ways for both you and your dog
to enjoy play time!
· Hide and Seek. This is a great activity
to help your dog learn the "sit" and
"stay" commands. After you have your
dog in a sitting position, tell him to stay, repeating
the command if necessary as you slowly walk away.
Quickly find a hiding spot, then call your dog
to you, and you'll soon be found! Act very excited
when he finds you, and even slip him a treat now
and then to keep him interested. This is a fun
game for kids to play with their dogs.
· Hiking or running. Your dog enjoys the
fresh outdoors and invigorating exercise just
as much as you and your family. Great family activites
can now incorporate your energetic canine. Begin
with small walks or jogs around the neighborhood,
and build up to longer excursions.
· Parks. In many areas, there are special
"doggy plaground" parks that are specifically
maintained for neighborhood dogs to get together
and play, under the supervision of their owners.
· Dog walks. This is a great way to have
fun with your dog and meet other people with similar
interests. Some dog walks are meant to be social
groups, and others are fundraisers. Either way,
it's great to take a stroll with other dog owners
and chat about your canines.
· Set up a doggy obstacle course. You can
either play follow the leader and run through
the course yourself, allowing your dog to follow
and learn, or you can train the dog to hop through
it using treats.
· Try a dog camp. You can find one that
is geared toward fun and games, and getting to
know more about activities to do with your dog
and other dogs. Or there are dog camps which help
you train and learn new skills for competitive
dog sports. Check out which ones sound most interesting
to you by searching online for "dog camps."
· Swim at the beach! Whether it's a lakefront
or ocean beach, most dogs will love to splash
out into the waves, either fetching sticks or
just doggy-paddling around. If your dog isn't
too large, call him out when you are wading shoulder
deep. Some dogs will like climbing onto your shoulders
for a ride as you walk around. Just be careful
of the claws!
