The winter months can take a toll on the dog training process. However, there are many ways to keep your dog active during the winter months. Here are some ways to train your dog indoors and for those of you that love the cool weather, I share some interesting ones.
1:- Indoor games and play
Grab a toy which your dog likes to play with to get them excited. Play fetch with your dog indoors and have your dog run back and forth between you trying to get the toy. It is called “Monkey in the Middle”. Reward your pup after a few throws by giving the toy or ball to let them play. This promotes fun and stimulates their mind and body. Another great game to play is “Hide and Seek” – it can be done with a treat or toy being hidden, and they have to find it. If you want to practice your recall , so they come when called , you can hide and have them find you!
2:- Agility Training
A great way to entertain your dog is to create indoor and outdoor courses for them. You can use broomsticks, poles, rocks, or cushions to create the course and have them weave in and out, luring them with a treat if you need to. Tunnels can be created using a blanket and 2 chairs. If you are outdoors, you can go to the park where dogs are allowed and use benches and playground equipment. Read more.....
