How to teach your dog a fun searching game

Hello once again! Sorry for the lack of videos but finals kept me really busy. I have a few things filmed that I need to edit, so please look foreword to my stuff.

So I will share with you a simple game I play with my dog "Chikita" (its suppose to be Chiquita but we spell it funny). She is a 10 year old black Labrador female and my first dog. I love her very much!

You will need a treat of some sorts. A bone or dog treats should be ok. It is just easier to use food because its easier for the dog to find. Some dogs have a better sense of smell then others, as you will see...Chikita's sense of smell is not very good. Start out slow and don't worry if your dog takes a day or two to get it. My girl makes it look easy because we have been playing like this for years.

And sadly, no I am not a dog trainer, so I can't help you too much if you are having a hard time teaching this to your dog. Chikita just knows some basic commands and a few tricks, but that's all. I learned from watching dog trainers on tv and reading books. There are many wonderful tutorial videos on dog training on youtube so look them up :)

Was that me or did the dog almost look as if he was saying "OMG! state the obvious" when she said "you also need a dog"?

another great way to teach your dog to find things is to spread a little bit of peanut butter somewhere. then put him on a leash and walk around with him. he will eventually find it.
