TRAINING FOR MY DOG

SPOTLIGHT ON GAMES

SOMETIMES WE GET SO FOCUSED ON TRAINING AND MANNERS AND BEHAVIOR ISSUES THAT WE FORGET TO HAVE FUN WITH OUR DOGS! SO THIS ISSUE IS FOCUSED ON GAMES. WHAT GAMES DO YOU PLAY WITH YOUR DOG? REGULAR GAMES LIKE TUG OR FETCH? HIDE AND SEEK? HAVE YOU MADE UP YOUR OWN GAMES OR VARIATIONS OF TRADITIONAL GAMES? HAVE YOUR DOGS MADE UP THEIR OWN GAMES? WHAT ARE THE GAMES THAT YOU PLAY WITH YOUR DOG OR THAT YOUR DOGS PLAY WITHOUT YOU? WHAT ARE THE RULES TO THESE GAMES?
