Dutch Shepherd Forum

Yes, we all know to keep them thinking. Chloe can do just about anything that I ask of her. Is there a game or puzzle out there that will keep her thinking? Or a new trick that I have not thought of yet?

Nose work games of any kind are great, especially if you are where the winters are cold and snowy...They don't have to be formal like "nosework" for competition, although Rossi is learning that..Also Pamsdogtraining.com has super neat free videos on tricks...and leerburg.com has some neat obedience free videos that can be done in smaller spaces...I'm also always on the look out for new things to teach Rossi...take every day things, like learning to get you a bottle of water out of an ice chest, putting their toys up, getting your shoes (unless your dutch has the same business as Rossi "Designs by Rossi , the shabby chic line" and shoes are off limits to her mouth....they can learn to chain all kinds of behaviors together...

I love making up games with Dutch. He knows the difference between the car the van, his toys names. its's clean up time ( he has to put away his toys), and who everyone's name in the house and what room they are in.

We play games in the basement as well hide, find etc. All teaching games.

As others have indicated, there's tons of stuff. Tons. It might help to know what you do with her now so folks can offer suggestions beyond what you are doing.

How old is Chloe?
