Playing and socialization

Anne | January 24, 2010

Dogs who are busy and well-adjusted will be happier animals. They will have happier owners. Sometimes it can be a challenge to keep your dog busy, especially if she is young and active. It helps if they have a like-minded friend. Try as you might, walking with your dog on a leash for 45 minutes will not get all the naughtiness out.

Dolly and Bubba love to play tug-of-war. Yes, that play is frowned on by vigilante trainers, but hey, they like it and it tires them out. Both animals have lost 10 pounds each of unwanted flab over the last year, this play is important.

Bicycle tires as tug-of-war pulls

A deceased tug tire rests inside a not yet used tug tire.

 Be creative in your choice of toys, there is no need to enrich your local pet store. An old Kevlar bead bicycle tire is one of the dynamic duo’s favorite toys. A great use for something we haven’t figured out how to recycle yet. So be ecologically correct; reduce, recycle and REUSE!

Some people are much  more organized with tire re-using. http://www.greatgreengoods.com/2008/02/26/recycled-bicycle-tire-rug/comment-page-1/#comment-333676
