You know Sesame Street, Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers got it right when it came to teaching children. (Notice I can only reference the shows my kids watched when they were little...no clue what kids these days watch!!! I will have to ask my granddaughters!) Anyhow....playing games and having fun is a great way to learn and it works for dogs too!
I love setting up the Fun-Gility Equipment as a Doggie Playground and the dogs love going on it. Sure there are a few pups who are nervous at first because their feet have never left the ground except to jump on someone! But once they overcome their fear they have a Blast!
Huge benefits result from conquering the course: Gigantic boost in Confidence; Improved Large Motor Skills; Dogs Filled Sheer Joy and Happiness! I find that the pups will even play on the equipment all by themselves without being asked!
And you know what else? The dogs don't even realize they are learning! Sneaking in Sits, Downs and Places are easy when it is combined with Fun!
So grab what you can find around the house and set up a Doggie Playground because Dogs just Wanna have Fun!
Thanks for being here!
My best,
