Follow the Leader
A really fun game to play with your dog
and/or puppy or for dog classes is follow the leader. In a class
environment set up lots of puppy obstacles and traffic cones in no
particular order and give each handler the opportunity to be leader.
All you need are three
dogs and handlers. In the summer you can include a shallow wading pool,
also
some piles of balls or frisbees. Well, you get the idea. Your dog and
you
will have lots of fun playing this game together.
Find the Treat
Put your dog on a down-stay- command. Then put treats in a variety of hiding places. Your dog has to wait until all the treats are hidden. When you say, GO! the dog runs around trying to find the most treats.
Hide and Seek
This is a fun game to play with your
dog. Put your dog on a sit or down wait. Then you hide. When ready call
your dog to you. Watch out because they
sometimes peek. This is good for teaching the dog to wait until called
as
well as fun for you and your dog.
