And the best bit about all of this? You can do it all at home
and all alone, and you can play the games literally anywhere!
Happy play times, keep it fun, fast, and light hearted!

getting them to switch off from the "eyeing," or agility TV as we call it. Whereas
with my Cockers I don't like to get them
sniffing because they already know how
to do this very well. A more difficult game
for them is keeping their head up and getting them to eye their target. I love how
different breeds throw different scenarios
into the mix, it's all so much fun to train!

Food
Then we come to food. Now here is the thing with food-the secret, the best tip ever-
you have to keep the delivery of the food fun, you have to keep it fast, you have to add
animation, and you really should add motion. Don't get caught static. So many people
say to me, "My dog really isn't running his fastest," as they walk up to their dog and
feed the dog for exactly that, not driving his fastest. Use an interactive food toy with
food in it, throw the food, bowl the food, move erratically, and add animation. Please
don't feed your dog standing still, move!

Chaser Toys
Next the Flirt toy, the whip, or in Kay
Lawrence's world, the whippet! I saw
this toy being used a long, long time ago
in Lurcher and Terrier racing, and I have
to say it is one of the most useful toys
for inspiring dogs that are seemingly disinterested in many toys to play. I don't
just like this type of toy, I love it! I start
with real fur on the pole, but for those of
you who object to fur, faux fur can often work just as well. It is usually just
the movement of the toy that stimulates
the dog's interest in the object. Once
your dog has true desire for the object,
and wants to chase it no matter what,
then-and only then-should you put
some control on the game. This in turn
will build more desire as the dog is now
earning the object. This means your play
gets stronger and stronger!

I also love games where you reset the using food; for example, reward the dog for a
position by releasing the dog to get moving food. This is such a great philosophy; basically any dog in a control position can be released to motion and food or toys. The key
is that the release is the reward and release is motion and movement for the dog. The
dog will hold a stay to get that release-now how cool is that?

Play with Another Dog
Once I am happy with all of the forms of play I've discussed in these two articles,
I do give my dogs some free supervised time playing with each other, as long as their
size, play type, and manners are appropriate for one another. I observe the way they
play, the way that they like to interact, and their tendencies within play. Do they like
to chase, be chased, or are they lacking confidence? This is an excellent way of finding
out a little more about your dog and what he is about. Try to watch him after giving
him a bath, too; this always seems to bring out the "scatty" side in dogs and often
results in playing and zooms.

Play Anywhere!
And the best bit about all of this? You can do it all at home and all alone, and you
can play the games literally anywhere! Happy play times, keep it fun, fast, and light
hearted! Enjoy the games discussed here and please feel free to contact us at contact@
