Towel Rolling – A DIY training game…
Let’s help build your dog’s focus on YOU…
- While your dog is watching, grab a tea towel and begin to roll it.
- As you roll it pop a few treats in occasionally and keep rolling
- Wait for your dog’s focus…
- And release them with ‘Go!’
- Watch them battle with a towel for their delicious treats
Such an easy game to play! you just need an old towel and a few treats – that’s’ it!
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.

Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
En León, mientras hacía tiempo en un hotel, me puse a curiosear en el móvil y encontré el billionaire spin casino. No soy muy constante con estos juegos, pero las tragaperras me recordaron a mi infancia en bares de pueblo. Probé varias, tuve una mala racha al inicio, y cuando ya iba a dejarlo, una tirada me devolvió con creces lo perdido. Fue un momento inesperado que me alegró el día.
Siema wszystkim! Jestem z Małopolski i podczas długiej podróży pociągiem do Zakopanego znajomy opowiedział mi o grach karcianych online. Nie byłem do tego przekonany, ale w końcu spróbowałem i wciągnął mnie blackjack. Trzeba było kombinować, liczyć, przewidywać – coś zupełnie innego niż bierne oglądanie seriali. Początkowo przegrywałem rozdania, lecz po kilku próbach udało mi się zebrać przyzwoitą pulę. Wtedy pomyślałem, że spinogambino poland daje mi trochę rywalizacji, której brakowało na co dzień.
Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?
Your article helped me a lot, is there any more related content? Thanks!
Brilliant idea, both my girls love sniffing out treats and get so used to a game. Great to have new ideas. I’m loving these games never mind the dogs! Thank you
