Games For Dogs - Family Fun

When you try to come up with games for dogs, the obvious choices come to mind: playing fetch and tug o’ war. Yes, these are the things that come naturally to most dogs, but don’t let your creativity be kept inside the box.

Spice up your game of fetch a little. Use the layout of your garden, or back yard, to create a few "obstacles". The dog must have to improvise to get past it. The challenge must not be beyond the animal’s capability, or it might lose interest. Use a favorite toy to maximize motivation.
The next option is using a Frisbee instead of a ball or stick. The gliding action affords you much more distance, which is great fun for dog species who enjoy running. It also makes for some great entertainment, as many dogs quickly catch on to grabbing it in mid-air.
The dog’s keen sense of smell could also be a source of fun. Hide an object, and have the dog find it. One option is to use a favorite toy, due to the familiar scent. The other option would be to hide a treat, which can then be eaten as a "reward" for having found it.
When playing games for dogs, you have the ability to use it to your advantage for obedience training. This could be for simple commands, like "drop it", or "sit up", just "sit". The dog will associate the command with the game, and will thus be much more likely to remember it.
Games for dogs are limited only by your own imagination and patience. There are many options and variations, and the animals quickly catch on to most of them.
