Some examples dogs naturally like
- Sniffing
- Licking
- Running
- Playing
- Resting
- Digging
- Bonding activities
Please don’t work through this list one after another. Pick one or two. Ask yourself what would be best for today. On a rainy day you could set up a lick mat instead of going outside for a run. Playing with your dog is always a good idea. Some days your dog seems tired – practice resting or rest with him. Sleeping at the same time as your dog can be helpful calming both, you and your dog. Sniffing games are popular indoors and outdoors and promote other skills like patience and concentration. Bonding activities involve trust-building and relationship-building activities. Your dog will appreciate it.
