When Amy agrees to work with Slate before her “real” job…..she claims she’s “picking up the slack.” I often have her work with our board and train dogs for several reasons, one being that I want our clients’ dogs to respond to basic commands from multiple people while training.

Obedient Shepherds now offers Maintenance Board & Train

(1 week) - $850
This training is for dogs who have completed our 2 week board and train program. Many of our clients have found that completing the Maintence Board and Train every other month allows obedience commands to take hold more strongly. (As well as spend time on a regular basis with their favorite “outside of the home” human, Andre.). A “go-home” lesson is not included with this program. This is truly a game-changer!

Thursday Thoughts

Don’t let the weather keep your dog from getting the exercise they need!
Having activities to do with your dog indoors gives you options for when there is bad weather outside.

Indoor activities provide mental stimulation and physical exercise. Some of the activities provide just one of these while others provide both.

1. Tug of War

To start playing, have your dog grab one end of the rope in their mouth while you hold on to the other end. Then start playing by moving the rope back and forth. Once your dog gets the hang of it, let them do all the pulling and moving.
Make sure to let your dog win some of the time so they don’t get discouraged.

2. Blow bubbles

Blowing bubbles for your dog is another cheap and easy activity to do indoors. All you need is some non-toxic bubbles, like these steak and bacon bubbles for dogs. To do this you just blow some bubbles and point to them, encouraging your dog to chase them. If your dog seems unsure about the bubbles, try catching some yourself to show them it’s alright.

Only play this for a short amount of time since the bubbles could cause stomach upset if your dog eats too many in one day.

3. Treadmill

Dogs can use a treadmill, just like people. They just need a little training and constant supervision. Though they can use a regular treadmill, there are also treadmills made specifically for dogs. The treadmills made for dogs can be a little pricey, but if you plan on using it regularly may be a worthwhile investment.

To get your dog to use a treadmill you need to start with letting your dog get used to it while it’s still off. Once your dog is used to it off, you can start it at a slow speed and slowly work up to a comfortable pace for your dog, but keep it on the slower side.

To encourage your dog you can offer treats from the front end of the treadmill. The treadmill should only be used for a short period of time each day, about 5 to 10 minutes daily.

For safety, never leash your dog to the treadmill. Also never leave your dog unattended while they are using the treadmill.
