We all love our pets and it is equally important as well to train them as training is like an investment. You will see the returns by sticking to the programme for the long haul. Training not only improves your dog's quality of life but also your own. Like treasure hunt is a great way to stimulate your pet's brain and teach him to use all his senses. You can hide a treat or a favourite toy.

Hide a treat/toy somewhere obvious and let your pet see this place. Then ask him to find. Once your pet understands the game and gains confidence, you can increase the difficulty level. You can add variety to this game by hiding treat under cups or objects and ask your dog to choose the right cup by pawing or nudging. You can also purchase dog puzzles or treat dispenser toys or make one at home yourself. If your dog eats packaged dog food, you can give at least one meal of the day as a reward for a puzzle for your dog to work on. This interactive game challenges your dog's brain and sharpens their problem solving and analytical skills.

A quick run to the vegetable vendor, a stopover at a friend's house, or a quick car ride in the evening, running errands can be so much fun when you have your furry companion along with you. It also gives them a chance to explore the world and meet new people. Dog agility does not have to be only an outdoor game. You can use chairs, hula hoops, and any existing furniture to teach your dog to weave and jump over or crawl under. You can also teach him weaving forward through your legs or to jump over your legs.
