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 need exercise, but every dog is unique, so be sure that the level of exercise you choose suits your pet. Some dogs have more stamina than others and can enjoy long walks, runs and hikes, while others need a slower pace. A daily walk or walks is always a good idea for both you and your pet, but just make sure the path you choose suits your dog's age and physical condition.

Good playtimes at home are also activities that your dog will enjoy. Tugging on toys and chasing after balls or running after tossing their favorite stuffed toy are tricks and activities your dog will enjoy. A good time for play each day is good to be set aside for them. Playing "hide and seek" which is good for the body and brain can be good for them, and they also love to play chase. Toys in which you place a treat for them to work on retrieving the treat can be good for them, and these are the food puzzle toys that can be a fun activity for them. Other beneficial toys for dogs, although you need to make sure that these are safe, are the chew toys you can give.

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.
