A lot of you are aware that my good friend Tania and her lovely, dippy Doberman are now living near me! We are spending lots of time with our dogs and having a great time. One of Lucy's favourite games is 'find the biscuit' as it encourages her to use her nose and she gets a treat at the end of the search.
i have broken treats in my pocket.
i throw the treat into the grass, into the bushes, into the undergrowth - anywhere i think she cant see it land
i tell her 'find the biscuit'
off she goes, nose down, sniffing, sniffing, sniffing, until she finds it and eats it.
faith is not a natural sniffer, she tends to be more interested in what Tania is doing and where Tania is. However, with lots of encouragement from myself, Faith is now a competant biscuit finder and enjoys her new game as much as Lucy.
this game is great fun for the dogs and encourages them to a) excercise b) use their nose.
have not succeeded in getting any pics to upload for you all on here...but they are on the other forum we all use if you want to take a look.
