If your pooch is tired of the same old Kong and dance, he needs to check out Griggle's new Satellite Dog Treat Toy. Made from high quality hard rubber, this is one tough toy that still is easy for dogs to chew on. The ridges throughout the body and the indentations give this toy a unique texture that dogs love. Plus, the toy has a hole in the bottom for stuffing with treats or kibble. Your dog will love bouncing, batting and chewing on this toy to get the treats out. Comes in green or blue, as well as two sizes. Check out more New & Woof-Tastic Dog Supplies and Interactive Dog Toys
training talk: teaching your dog tricks Teaching tricks is a wonderful way to enhance the bond with your dog as well as refining his skills and keeping his mind active. Dogs love to learn and enjoy the chance to problem solve. Moreover, many people find that teaching their dog to “Shake” or “Sit Up” is more fun and upbeat than teaching basic manners like “Sit Stay” or “Drop It”. This takes the pressure off both you and your dog and makes for a lively training session that feels more like a game than a lesson. One trick everybody loves is “Play Dead”. Just like Cops and Robbers when you were a kid, use your hand to create a fake gun and the cue “Bang!” and watch your dog drop to the floor and roll on his side. Begin with your dog in the down position. If he doesn’t know the verbal cue for down yet, use a Healthy Dog Treat to lure him to the floor. Once there, use gentle pressure to roll your dog on to his side. Say “Bang!” and give lots of dog treats. Release your dog with “Ok” (remember you always want to give your dog on and off switches when teaching any behavior) and repeat. Gradually extend the amount of time your dog is on his side until he can maintain the behavior for 20 or 30 seconds.
Now that Fido is beginning to understand that “Bang!” means drop to the floor and roll over on your side, try cueing him in different locations like outside in the grass or in the dining room. Dogs are contextual so if you teach your dog new skills in the living room and then ask him to perform that behavior in a different location it can be confusing. By changing location, you are expanding your dog’s understanding of the cue. Read more Teaching Your Dog Tricks
