Under the Basket – Easy Game for Dogs
Hello you lovely pet parent, you!
This game is an adaptation of a game I tried earlier which resulted in a big fail.
We were a lot more successful this time – thanks to Gill’s idea!
We’re grabbing a bit of focus from our dog before we let them go for it and then it’s all about your dog figuring a way to get at their treats.
What you need:
Treats
Clothes Basket
Your lovely dog

Step by Steps
-
- Sit your basket down
- Have your dog sit down and wait for you
- Pop some treats under your basket
- Wait for your dog to look at you
- Say ‘Go!’ and let your dog work out how to get under the basket and to their tasty prize.
Tips
- If your dog isn’t great at looking at you while waiting for the command – be patient but allow the slightest move towards a look at you initially and build from there
- If your dog isn’t really getting involved, find ways to make it more interesting by giving the basket a good waggling or being more excited yourself.
- If that doesn’t work – make it easier for your dog to get into the basket by propping one side up slightly with a cushion or tea towel.
Enjoy!
