🐾 DIY Dog Obstacle Course at Home 🐾

Looking for a fun and engaging way to spend quality time with your dog this holiday season? 🎄 Why not create a homemade obstacle course right in your garden or living room? 🏡🐕✨

Before you start, think about your dog's size, athleticism, and health. Every pup is different! Make sure the course is suitable for their age and fitness level. Even puppies can join in with ground-level activities—no jumping or twisting required!

Here are some creative ideas to get started:

💥 Jumping: A broomstick across two chairs (or lower for small dogs) makes a simple jump!
💥 Climbing: Use a plank of wood raised on bricks for a fun "dog walk."
💥 Walking: Set up bubble wrap, wrapping paper, or cardboard for your dog to walk on—it's a sensory experience!
💥 Crawling: An upturned bowl or a sheet draped over chairs makes a perfect tunnel!
💥 Weaving: Line up some plant pots or sticks and watch your dog weave through them.
💥 Balance: A cushion or mat can help your dog build confidence and balance.
💥 Tunnels: You don’t need to buy one—an old cardboard box can work wonders!

Remember, the goal is to have fun, not overwork your dog. Keep challenges light and build up slowly. And hey, if you're feeling extra festive, add a few holiday-themed obstacles too! 🎄✨

Grab some materials you already have at home and get creative! Share your homemade dog course with us—we’d love to see how your pups tackle it! 🐾❤️

Christmas Tree Treats

Ingredients:

* 190g wholemeal flour
* 2 eggs
* 65g tinned pumpkin
* 30g peanut butter (xylitol-free)
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180°C/ 160°C Fan/ gas 4.
Mix all the ingredients together to make a dough. You may need to use your hands to ensure that everything is well combined. If your mixture is too dry you can add a small amount of water.
Sprinkle some flour on to a surface and roll out the dough until it’s 1/2 inch thick.
Cut out the dough using a Christmas tree shaped biscuit cutter.
Place in the oven for 30 minutes or until the biscuits are hard to the touch.
Leave to cool thoroughly before feeding to your dog.

Enjoying every second of every day that I can with her ❤️. Did you do some Vito game training today? How is it going for you and your dog? I had 5 minutes so got the blocks and the box out 😁. Working on getting that box further away from me. Will post a progress vid soon. Next focus training is introducing the crate 😃

We're craving our Christmas dinner already, but which foods can you share with your dog? 🍗
Turns out, quite a lot! Do you treat your dog at Christmas? If so, just be confident that you're giving them safe snacks.

You can share ✅
Plain turkey and sausages, veggies like carrots, peas, parsnips and sweet potatoes.

Be sure to avoid ❌
Sweet treats with dried fruits like raisins such as Christmas Pudding, Mince Pies and Stollen. Steer clear of onions, blue cheese and stuffing - and of course, chocolate!

👉 Share this post with your fellow dog owners!

My angel sleeps ❤️. That’s what a training session does 😃

Next Vito training session I will do as a live. I am training in real time with Tia. We haven’t played this game before so if you are training with us we are in the same boat! 😄.

Adding an obstacle

It cuts off at the end but basically keep doing this back and forth motion and we will recap on Thursday. Hopefully you will have your dog going to each block/mat or bowl without guidance from you.

Sold. Selling this Barking Bag but only because I’ve treated myself to the original barking bag I wanted that wasn’t in stock when I ordered this one. This is BRILLIANT and so useful. £15 for it.
