Did you know you can play games with your dogs? Dogs love interaction with children and it builds a strong bond, communication and interaction between them. Also, playing with your dog stimulates their brain and helps them to be calm and well adjusted. In this one time class, students will learn how to play games with their dogs or puppies. We will focus on 3 or 4 games per class to include the Name Game, Hide 'N Seek, Musical Chairs and or Sits, Dancing With Your Dog, Puppy Ping Pong, The Tug Game, Return to Sender (Fetch), and Play it Again Sam.
Learning Goals
Student goals are to have fun and learn how to have positive experiences with their dogs or puppies. The learner will strengthen the bond of communication and interaction between human and dog.
