Dogs need mental and physical stimulation. They’re also very inquisitive creatures, and they love spending time with their owners, and other people in your family.
By playing games with your dog, you can reduce boredom, give him chance to display his natural jumping behavior, and reduce any destructive activity he might be doing in your home. Also, by controlling the games, you‘ll be able to reinforce your authority as the pack leader.
Here’s Some Constructive Games You Can Play:
Catch The Frisbee
Catching a Frisbee and bringing it back to you is a great game to play with highly active dogs. But you need to be aware that it’s a very physically demanding game, and it isn’t suitable for elderly dogs as they can hurt themselves.
You can also play similar retrieval games using a ball. This is good way to improve your dog’s reactions and obedience.
Remember: Always throw the ball away from your dog, not towards it. Here’s why: If you throw a ball directly towards a dog, he may try to catch it in mid air, and it can get stuck in his throat.
