Activities Your Dog Will Enjoy

By Garrett McMahan


It can be a good idea if you offer a dog some fun activities and tricks because dogs love to play and also like to be given attention always. Each dog can be different though, such as in their physical strengths and also limitations and dogs also have different temperaments. Here are some fun suggestions for your dogs especially that you are looking for ways to keep him happy and healthy.

Dog training can be a good way to spend more time with your dog especially when still a puppy or you have a new dog at home, although it may not seem to be a fun activity at all. You will love and enjoy your dog more especially when already behaving properly, and these are among the many benefits you get with proper dog training. You will learn more about your dog's personality, and this you get with the dog training. Your dog will love the time you spend during the training because they love being with you, and during this training, you will be able to build a strong bond between you and the dog.

If you don't know how to go about with the training, there is a dog training class or you can decide on having a dog training DVD like "The Dog's Way". This is a dog training DVD that will teach you dog training in 12 easy lessons. You can teach the dog some helpful skills like for him to sit, stay, come when called, walk on a leash, stop excessive barking, or him not to dart out the door. This is also a dog training system that includes a workbook and also reminder cards, so that it will be easy for you to keep on with the training even when you are walking the dog out.

Dogs can be unique individually and all levels of exercises you give should fit because all dogs need exercises. Some dogs enjoy long walks and runs while others need the slower pace because it has to be noted that there are dogs with more stamina than others. You need to make sure of the path you go when walking with the dog in order to fit his age and physical condition, but it has to be noted also that the daily walks will be good for both of you.

Other activities that dogs enjoy are simply playtime at home. Your dog might enjoy tugging on toys, chasing after balls or running when you toss a favorite stuffed toy. Set aside a special time each day for play. Dogs love to play chase and can even play hide and seek, which definitely is good for the body and brain. Food puzzle toys can be a fun activity for some dogs, and these are toys in which you place a treat and the dog must work to retrieve the treat. Chew toys also can be beneficial to dogs, simply make sure that the toy is safe for your pet.

Dogs that are healthy have great energy, and for them you can consider agility training like playing with a Frisbee. There are cities and towns that have agility classes, agility clubs and also Frisbee dog clubs and this can be the way to give him the fun exercises as well as you getting out and knowing other dog owners. The proper dog training can be the good prerequisite for your pet dog as well as discussing the dog's health with the veterinarian before starting the heavy exercise programs.
