Traditional ways to play with dogs

No.1 Calling in turns

requires the participation of your family and friends. Everyone puts a little snack in their hand, and then takes turns calling the dog. If the dog comes, give him a little snack. It's great fun for him and he gets snacks. But be careful not to overfeed snacks~

No.2 Shaking Game

Let the dog hold and shake a toy. You make all the rules, such as "bite", "pull", and "release", and the game starts and ends according to your instructions. This game is also one of the basic obedience training. If you practice it for a long time, your dog will become more obedient. But be aware that if you play too intensely, you should stop immediately.

No.3 Pick-up game

You take out the ball and initiate a "pick-up" game under your control. The main commands are: sit, wait, go, pick, come, Release and finally you take the ball until the next game starts.

No.4 Training Game

Exercise your dog’s mind, teach it to salute, roll, shake hands, balance biscuits on its nose, or let your dog learn to organize things by itself. For example, many people teach their dogs to pick up toys by themselves and put them in storage boxes. Some people will teach their dogs to pick up garbage and throw it into the trash can, or even put clothes in the washing machine.

No.5 Hide and Seek Game

Teach the dog to come when it hears the call and how to find you when it cannot see you. Or hide a toy and encourage your dog to search for it. This game can also make your dog follow you more closely when you are outside.

Different dogs like different types of games. For example, shepherd dogs like chasing games and fetching games; guard dogs like "power" games; and hounds like shaking and pulling objects. However, although the game is fun, if you play it with your dog in an incorrect way, you may get into a lot of trouble!

Precautions for playing with dogs

① Find a familiar place (a small park in the community or nearby that allows dogs to go) to easily confirm whether there is anything harmful to dogs in the area. Take your dog there to play, you can throw a Frisbee and play with a ball.
② Avoid excessive exercise. Large dogs should not exercise excessively before 1 year old. The muscles and bones of large puppies are still developing, and excessive exercise will cause long-term sports injuries.
③ It is wrong to let the dog hold a toy in its mouth and then you chase it to grab it. This will easily encourage the dog's desire to control you and lead you.
④ If the dog barks or uses similar methods to urge you to give it the ball, don’t give it! Otherwise you are telling your dog that he can command you.
⑤ Do not encourage your dog to jump, mouth to mouth, bite (even if it is not a real bite), hit, pounce or other aggressive behaviors while playing with humans. This will make it blindly confident and eventually bring serious consequences.
