Too hot for outside play today. So we decided to do some mental stimulation instead. This one was a little tricky with 2 dogs and might not look like much but it gets their brains working and thinking for them selves.
Place an object infront of you and give a treat either side. No talking required. Slowly move the object further away from you as the game goes on. They must go around the object to get the treat. If they go behind you or in-between they don't get the reward. Eventually the object will be at the other end of the room and then you can add in a command such as round. It can be a useful trick when walking if your dog goes on the opposite side of a pole. Or you would like them to take a different route.
Here's an idea if your like me and have missed some walks this past week due to the heat! ๐ฅต
Hide and seek!
I give the kids some doggy treats and they play and play and play.
Enough Mental stimulation can be the equivalent to a walk /run.
This game gets them to use their heads, their noses. A little bit of running around and a lot of bonding and Interaction.๐
And you do not have to be a kid to play this game ๐

Book in to get your pooch comfortable for the warmer weather and give your vaccume a break ๐
When I was pregnant I was so worried that my first baby ๐ Charley was going to feel left out.๐
I taught him tricks which helped him still get the attention and stimulation he needed even on those hard sleepy days with a new born.
I have so much love for these girls!
Not working in a fast paced salon any more I get a lot of 1 year old dogs for there first groom or dogs that only come evey 6 months. This makes for a very stressful job!
But these two are so full of love and trust and kisses, it reminds me why I fell in love with this job path in the first place. ๐ฅฐ Always a pleasure
