Enjoyable Activities To Do With Your Dog

Your dog is not just a pet it is your best friend, the one you can regularly count on when things just aren't going your way. Your dog is part of your family, a stress reliever and so much more.

To strengthen your bond with your dog it is of vital importance to spend quality time with your dog. Your dog will come to respect you as well as you will respect your dog. It emphasizes the communication between you and your dog. The best way to strengthen your bond is by walking the dog. Dogs naturally walk in the wild so it is of vital importance that you walk your dog. In order for your dog to respect you do not have the dog walk in front of you, he must stay beside you or behind you.

While training your dog it is easy to get frustrated when you are too serious.There are many different ways you can train your dog to be obedient and/or to learn new tricks while making it more enjoyable for you and your dog.

Most dogs can spend a lot of time running after balls, sticks and Frisbees. It gives them great exercise and is also a challenge for them when they try to catch it..

What I like to do with my dog Rusty is to hide a treat in my backyard and have him find it. Not only does it teach him discipline to stay until I say go find but it also allows him to use his keen sense of smell to search for it.

It is of vital importance to keep your dog happy and healthy. Use your imagination and you will come up with great ideas and fun games to play with you dog.
