Rescue Your Dog From Boredom
Just like us humans, dogs can become bored with everyday life. Think about how you'd feel if you spent days on end languishing on the couch. Boredom personified! Well, that's what can befall your "Best Friend" unless you resolve to rescue him from house or kennel ennui. All dogs and puppies need some regular mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. While it's true of all breeds, it's particularly significant for the working breeds, such as collies, border collies,boxers and herding dogs. Given a job to perform will keep most dogs sharply attentive and eager to please. The type of task is relatively unimportant as long as it's something the dog can feel confident in doing. Regularity, in other words, daily or at least three times weekly, provides the best formula. Each time your pooch performs his job properly, giving him profuse praise and perhaps an occasional treat puts the icing on the cake. Never scold him for a mistake, simply withhold praise and a reward. Your commitment to his rescue from boredom will pay big dividends both for you and your loyal companion. Just do it. |

Good point. But what exactly could I do, apart from buying a bunch of sheep?

CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Hi Nick: Thanks for your comment. As for buying a flock of sheep, if you have the space, fine, do it. However, you can use a little imagination to think up a job or two for your pooch. Something like teaching him/her to fetch the newspaper or his grooming brush so you can reward him with a three-minute brushing. Good luck wearing your thinking cap.

Teach your dog to fetch their lease and then take them for a walk.
Thank you for sharing.
Best wishes.

CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Hi Frederick:
Right on!

One of the things my dog loves is to sit on on my lap as I do a search for videos on Google for "barking dogs". She gets all excited as I play the videos and she hears all the strange howls coming from my computer. We also go for a lot of walks in the back of the house where I live. And of course there was the Visit with Santa Claus
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Hey, it sounds like you and your dog have barrel of fun at your computer. Now all you haveto do is teach her how to log on!
John
Your right on.I have two dogs and live on 16 acres of woods.Even though they have lots to do I still like to
give them more options.Like putting them in the car and just take them for rides. I mean lets face it,how would
you like to run after woody creatures all day everyday right?
