If you started this and the dog wasnā€™t sure you want use a lot more treats under one cup at a time. There was only one treat and the training room itself is very distracting for dogs visiting. Iā€™m sure if they practice a few rounds of this they will have great success and a lot of fun. This is a great activity for children to play with their dog. Here is a link to the directions for a few other sent detection games. https://kids-n-k9s.com/sniffer-dog-games-to-play-with-your-child-and-dog/. , -n-k9s

Kids and dogs love to play this game and it helps to work on the recall command. I love how loud and clear this little girl calls out to her dog! Well done!

This is a five year-old little girl had a large boxer dog, which you will see in the next coming reels. There were no issues that the mother came in for other than to be sure that the little girl and her dog continued with a good relationship. Finding games and activities that kids can do with dogs will build a harmonious bond! Generally, when kids talk about ā€œbitingā€ they are usually referring to dogs that are playful nipping. If I can teach them games that may help them to control the nipping thatā€™s the goal. , , -n-k9s

After we play the Red Light, Green Light (shown in the last post) which shows kids that eliminating movement to stop the dogā€™s approach, I now introduce the opposite which illustrates that adding motion or movement helps the dog to move towards the person. We are actually teaching the kids/family the recall command. Playing this as a family makes it extra fun and we call it puppy ping-pong! , , pinging

The kids are learning that adding motion or movement or eliminating motion or movement can control the dogā€™s actions. ,

First, we start with the worksheet activity that I previously posted, followed by this fun activity. Kids are going to run no matter what you say so help them understand how they can influence what happens with the dog. If they donā€™t like the dog jumping or grabbing at them with their teeth then this activity helps them see how they can influence them to stop.
