Fun new dog work for me!

[Saemma]

Congratulations Vicki!! Sound very innovative and FUN work!!

I wonder why they don't have these types of venues for parrots? I'd love to be able to bring my parrots to a place where they are stimulated and challenged when I am at work or on Vacation.

Do you do any chase type games with him? That might really give him a great outlet for that.

No, outside we play fetch. How could we play a chase game?

That is a thought!

Fetch is good. Also, you might try a Whippet. I made one with a horse lunge whip with a toy at the end. The idea is not just that the dog chase but that he learn to pause (impulse control) so that he can get it. Look up Kay Laurence and the Whippit

Also, I have been doing a lot of K9 nosework. You can put him away while you hide food in boxes and other props and let him search for them! Here is a video of Sonic, my pom doing some searches in class

That sounds like fun! Especially the hide and seek game Why do dogs bury stuff anyway? I give Heartly a marrow bone{shank, the only bone I give him and it is raw} on occasion, and the very thing he wants is out so he can go and bury it...
