Quick Tips

If you’re new to these games it may take a while for your dog to look at you.
Be patient and release them on the slightest glance initially – they’ll learn that it’s the look to you that lets them go.
Try building the buzz up with a bit of tantalising… ‘Ready, Steady aaaaaaaaaand GO!’
If your hound has a favourite toy you could try wrapping that up instead.
This could be a good game for that digging dog in your life – be careful where you put your towel though!
A great regular game to play because you don’t need much to play it – just treats and an old towel.
Try using their daily food allowance instead of treats – let them earn their dinner.
