I guess one has to be prepared to live with whatever one reinforces with treats. :)<br /><br />@Dawn - Dewi loves balls more than anything, too. :) <br /><br />@Taryn - I'm getting the image of Dug from "up" in my head. "Squirrel, aka: Stick!" :) Dewi would give up his favorite game for chasing sheep, too.<br /><br />@Pamela - I hear ya. JF tugs so hard my shoulder gets sore. It would be interesting to see JF and Honey going at it on the same rope. :)<br /><br />@Janet - Naughty Scout!<br /><br />@Talking Dogs - Fetch a rose branch? Ouch!!!<br /><br />@Kristine - Running around in circles like a maniac can have advantages (it only takes one participant). :) Shiva's just got a different drum beat. :)Elizabeth Keenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710489912663020646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616115718711383229.post-28231356288031176822011-07-29T07:50:59.713-07:002011-07-29T07:50:59.713-07:00Other than learning new tricks, which Shiva loves ...Other than learning new tricks, which Shiva loves the best because she gets to eat, I'd have to say her favourite is "run around in circles like a maniac."

This involves fetching the stick out of any body of water, the deeper the better, but even ankle-deep is good. Wilson can be hauling off after a deer, and all I have to do is shout is "Stick! Stick! Stick!" and he comes barreling back to me. had we kept going with the herding lessons i think that would have eclipsed the stick.<br /><br />Jimmy is gung-ho about every single game he plays. But his favorite is probably being Fun Police to anything Wilson might be enjoying.Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523449106100926340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616115718711383229.post-68562878227347838852011-07-28T13:00:07.791-07:002011-07-28T13:00:07.791-07:00Magic says tugging is great but ball is AWESOME.Magic says tugging is great but ball is AWESOME.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383214875457202545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616115718711383229.post-44562963856760093582011-07-28T12:55:41.593-07:002011-07-28T12:55:41.593-07:00For agility the instructors want the dogs to learn...For agility the instructors want the dogs to learn hand-touch. Hold out a hand when the dog touches his/her nose to it, they get a treat from the other hand. That has turned into the all-time favorite game at my house. If my palm is open -- no matter what I'm doing -- I will feel a cold, wet nose, and some soulful eyes will silently ask "where's the treat." De-stuffing all toys is also right up there.pennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10597061803462709475noreply@blogger.com
