Dog Games
Dog Games - May be the easiest game of doggy "Find It" - you can not go wrong when sniffing and food are involved. Teach your dog a piece of dry food or a treat tiny. Say "Search!" And you start eating on the floor. If your dog does not understand the idea of shooting from the bowl, start it directly by dropping the treatment of her. Then to throw at each repetition, ever. You can feed your entire meal can play dog, for some reason, dogs rarely seem to get bored when you get to eat. Make the game more difficult by asking your dog to stay while you are hiding behind the treatment of a cabinet or in another room. Come back, you let your dog out of the suspension, and I wish him good hunting. I suggest as a hiding place on the couch.
Dog Games - Hide and Seek
The hidden agenda in the "Find It", a person which will be the game turns playing hide and seek. This is easier with two human players, to teach one to go into the ground, the others stay with the dog and encourage him to find a hiding place. The victim may make a fuss of the dog once it has found - and give the old Lob-scratch, throw a treat or toy, or play a quick game of tug.
Dog Games - Go Wild and Freeze
A favorite game is "Go Wild and Freeze", which was first developed by the trainer September Morn. September, you can find e-mail address at the bottom of this page. There are several ways to play "Go Wild and Freeze" - here's one. Start chatting with the dance and to act until your dog is in motion, too. After a minute or two you have all of a sudden stop moving. Ask your dog to sit, or down, or make any other behavior they know well. The moment it is the case, start, dancing around again, if your dog does to stop or ask to sit down again, and the reward will restart the game.
Mix things by changing the behaviors that you provide and how long you wait before starting the game again, if your dog is extremely irritable and sensitive to your mouth or rebound to start, with a pale version of Vanilla "Unchained" - building up your dog in this game you can possibly "one step and gel." to hide behind a baby gate if necessary.
"Go Wild and Freeze" is not only fun, it helps to teach your dog self-control, how they respond to your instructions, even if it gets irritated. End of the game considerably, for example, say "Ready!" And to sit with a book. If you say the same phrase every time your dog will learn that it means the end of the game. Ignore any attempts to stagger - otherwise it will learn that harass works.
Dog Games - The game muffin tin
Amy Samida, the Naughty Dog Cafe in Ann Arbor, told me about the "Muffin Tin game." Amy found online, and we both love to hear from its inventor, so we sing his praises. Take a 6-muffin pan and take a delight in every cup. Place tennis balls in about half of the cups. Once a dog has found candy discovered, it usually appears as hitting tennis balls away revealing more goodies. As you gain experience on your dog, you can hide treats in only a part of tennis balls and a 12-muffin muffin pan or 24 Some dogs, Amy says, is find as much pleasure in the defeat of the muffin cups and send all the bullets fly and processes - that you go with, assuming that your belongings are also fragile. Or the suggestion of Amy screwing in the muffin pan In a large piece of plywood. Keep your dog at work!
Dog Games - Manners training, have fun
I included "Go Wild and Freeze" because it is not only a fun game, but also a practice game. The style of the old muscle training - which unfortunately has not disappeared from the earth - think first training as work. Grim, a tedious work, know that modernity is reward-based training is another story - useful, even necessary, yes, but also fun. Spend a few minutes of strenuous morning and evening on a rainy day, the brain of the dog by teaching him to turn in the selection, or connect a kitchen cabinet, or heel without a leash in your living room. Everything we teach our dogs, as long as we present it in a light, affectionate, pleasant thoughts: "It is all the stuff to them,"
