Activity Tips

First take 2 equal looking plastic cups and a thick snack. Under one cup put the snack so that your Labbi can observe it exactly. Then push the cups over the soil. They should stop as far as possible. With the request to search the dog can try now to find the snack under the cup. In case the dog select the wrong cup then there is no reward for it and the dog must into the basic position (seat or place in 1m distance). The cups push at the beginning as slowly as possible, so that there are success experiences and praises effusively, if your dog find the snack. After a little exercise you can go somewhat faster. That is genuine head work and demands already a little obedience, because at first your Labbi will try to jump up immediately, as soon as you move the cup. If he understood the game he have a lot of fun. Our T.Jay goes immediately strained into place, when I go to pick up the cups and he observes exactly each of my movements.

Look for bag or ball

Take a lockable leather bag or a cut open tennis ball and well more smelling snacks. You hide the bag first in such a way, which your Labbi the hiding place sees immediately. Has he found the bag you have to request it to bring you the bag or ball. Has he done that, open the bag or the cut open tennis ball and give him the snack. He will very fast understand that he arrives faster his reward, if he brings you the found bag or ball as directly as possible. Always give him the instruction "out" before he puts the bag or ball down. Otherwise you have later problems, if you want to practice dummy training.

Hiding you

If "wait" already functioned you can simply hide yourself in the house or in the dwelling. Otherwise you need a second person, which hold your dog. Hiding place you and call loud "search". Has he found you give him a thick snack. The game can be played super in a limited living room and be accomplished later, if your Labbi may run again more, also during the walks. At the same time your Labbi learns to watch out for you.

Waste paper disposal game

Each old cardboard is suitable. Put a snack in it and start the game. Usually much does not remain and the snack is always found. If your patient is still very handicapped, take only thin cardboard boxes, for whose tearing up no large energy expenditure is necessary.

Dogdomino

Dogdomino is a board play with grooves, which snacks can be put into, which the dog must find. However there is here nothing to raises, but integrated sliding blocks must be shifted into the board. The sliding blocks must be pulled or pushed with nose or paw. Thus it functions:
Put into some recesses particularly well smelling snacks. Motivate your dog and recompence it also for alternative solution attempts. A favourite game from T.Jay until today. You will find the game under T.Jay's Linkliste "Hundebedarf im Internet"

The game with the "Kong"

Take a large Kong and fill up with different things. First layer carrots then few snacks, apple bits and in the end smear up with freshness cheese or someone like that. If the Kong is completely firmly filled, it becomes trickier for the dog. That is madly to observe which tactics the dogs in shortest time develops around itself to compile the fodder. And it makes completely tired. You will find the game under T.Jay's Linkliste "Hundebedarf im Internet"
