How you play with your dog matters.
Those of you with high energy dogs know how hard it can be to tire them out. You start out playing fetch and the first couple times they’re tired after 10 throws. Then it’s 20. Then 30. The next thing you know, you’re out there for an hour and it seems like the little athlete you created will never stop!! The problem is, you are only meeting their physical needs. Now I am not saying there is anything wrong with getting your dog some physical exercise. What I am saying is they need a little more. Mental stimulation is just as important. Now you have probably hear people say this before but have not shown how to properly engage your dog’s brain during play. That’s what I am going to do now. In the video below you will see me playing with my dog Tupper. I’m going to break down the things that I am asking for and what is actually going on. If you have any questions on anything you see here, please ask!!

Will held his "stay" very nicely - better than I expected. Also the flirt pole should arrive tomorrow - do I use that the same way for mental stimulation ?

Hi - I'm Peg. I live near Belleayre Ski Center with 3 dogs. The youngster is Will - 2.5 yrs old. For 2 days he was very pouty; I knew he was hungry but he'd only eat quick bites. I thought he was sad because I've had to start to leash him on walks so he doesn't chase deer and he's getting less exercise. Or maybe he had an upset stomach - couldn't figure it out. Last night the lightbulb went off - once I put his food in a different bowl, he devoured it. The problem was my fault - I'd washed out the other dishes and forgot to do his. His sense of smell is extremely sensitive & once he had a clean dish, all is good.
