Dog games make time spent with your dog that bit more fun and give you both really good exercise! Dogs need to play, it’s an important part of their socialization as well as exercise.

The range of games can be from fun with dog toys to more intense games with agility style exercise. It really depends on time,space and breed of dog.

Games in your garden or back yard will be different than if you are out at the beach or walking across the fields.

Playing in the house can be a bit limited depending on the size of your abode and how precious you are about your belongings!

Don’t forget dog games with treats, my dog loves these, it makes your dog use his brain to work out what he wants.

Dog games with toys

Frizbees,boomerangs,a range of balls and even bubbles. All great toys for dog games. The throwing toys are all great for big outdoor spaces but I wouldn’t recommend them elsewhere as your dog could sustain injuries as he crashes into things trying to catch. Use bubbles when playing with your dog in your garden, they give loads of fun and a great workout between walks!

Of course you can use their much loved squeaky toys and Raggas too. If your dog is obedient, a game of hide and seek is a must. He waits while you hide his favorite toy, his reward is finding it but you can give a treat too if you like. You may need two of you for this if you have a dog like Barney who won’t always wait! He is improving though.

Games with treats

A trail of chocolate drops to sniff out, a Kong toy or balancing a biscuit on your nose. All brilliant games if you are a dog and love your food treats.

The Kong toy is fantastic and you can buy similar products from other manufacturers. If you have not heard of it, it’s a type of ball with small holes for inserting treats. Your dog has to roll it,nudge it and knock it to retrieve them. Very good for keeping them occupied when you are busy! They come in different sizes to suit your dog size too.
