Fun Activities For Your Dog

By Garrett McMahan


Dogs are known to be playful and also want attention; such that it can be great if you let them do some fun activities or tricks. Dogs have different temperaments and also different in their physical strengths and also limitations. You can be looking for some things that can make your pet dog happy and also healthy, and here are some suggestions for these.

While it might not seem like a truly "fun" activity, dog training actually is a great way to spend time with your dog, especially a puppy or an older dog that is new to your home. There are so many benefits of proper dog training, and you will truly love and enjoy your pet more if he or she behaves properly. In addition, dog training is a great way for you to really learn about your pet's distinctive personality. During dog training you will forge a strong bond with your dog, and your dog will love this training time because they simply love to be with you.

If you aren't sure how to go about training, you can take a dog training class or perhaps opt for a set of dog training DVDs, such as The Dog's Way. This dog training program teaches owners how to train their pets in 12 easy lessons. You can teach your dog helpful skills such as sitting, staying, coming when called, proper leash walking and curb troublesome issues such as excessive barking or having a pet that darts out your front door. This dog training system also includes a workbook and reminder cards that will make it easy for you to keep up with training while you are out on a walk or at the park.

Your dog needs exercise but dogs are different such that you need to know if the level of exercise fits him perfectly. There are dogs with more stamina than others and they enjoy more the long walks and also running, but others need the slower walks. This daily walk is good for you as well as your dog, but you have to sure also that your path fits the physical condition of your dog and also age.

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.

For a healthy dog with a great deal of energy, you also could consider agility training or Frisbee play. Many cities and towns have agility clubs, agility classes and Frisbee dog clubs, and this can be a great way to provide fun exercise for your dog as well as getting out and meeting other dog owners. Proper dog training is a good prerequisite for your dog, and it is always wise to discuss your pet's health with a veterinarian before starting a rigorous exercise program.
