Playing with your dog | Dogalize
Dogs (and people) love to play. Playing with your dog is one of the best ways to reward him for a job well done. Done correctly, play can help a stressed dog relax and a distracted dog focus.
Every dog is different, so get to know what sort of play you dog enjoys. Just like some people like wrestling and roller coasters while others enjoy reading and board games, different dogs will have different preferences. Try to find the level of excitement that’s “just right” for your dog. Avoid play that gets your dog so amped up that he can’t think or calm down. On the other hand, if your dog is bored by your attempts to play, try upping the level of excitement or changing to a different game. There are lots of different ways to play with your dog!
