Easter Egg Hunts - Fun for Dogs of all ages

Lucas is a german shepherd/husky/springer spaniel mix breed.All dogs have an excellent sense of smell and Lucas has never met a holiday he didn’t like.   Lucas discovered his passion for Easter egg hunting when he was 3 years old.  Nothing gave him more excitement than finding hidden treats all around his yard. 

Now at age 13, Lucas moves a bit slower from arthritis (after having a TPLO done on both knees), but you can still see the excitement in each of his steps and with every Easter egg he finds. 

 

Make Dog Training Fun

In this video the dog Louie clearly loves training and doing tricks with his owner. This video shows what can be accomplished when dedicated owners and their pets work diligently together.  Louie is an amazing dog, but he didn’t learn all of these tricks over night.

Doing agility and high jumps can be fun, but don’t start your pooch too young.  High jumps can be extremely tough on a young dogs skeletal structure.  Let your pal finish growing before you start any jumps. Excessive jumping can cause problems for your dog in his adult years, so be careful not to over do it.

When starting your pet training sessions, you may want to limit training sessions to around 15 minutes.  Keeping your training sessions short and fun will keep your dog excited and wanting more.  It’s not training to your pet, just some outside fun with mom and dad. 

With love and a lot of patience you and your dog will be able to accomplish amazing things together.
