Playing With Your Dog

Posted by Clare Bristow

It's easy to forget to play with our dogs. A trip to the dog park to let your dog run around is a much easier option than thinking up a dog game to play, particularly when you're tired after a day at work - I know I've done it myself!

However, our dogs do appreciate interaction with us, and giving your dog a combination of mental and physical exercise is a great way to give him a well rounded workout.

Here is a video showing you 4 games to play with your dog - they all provide mental and physical stimulation, and help with training too as they require your dog to sit, stay, come, etc.

All the games can be played either in the house or when you are out for a walk, and are a great way to bond with your dog.
