Find It- fun search game for dogs...

1. sit or down stay is something you need to start with
2. release with a 'search' word to object - best if it is your dogs favorite item and can be used as a tug item
3. play tug and get excited over the 'find'
4. do it again and again.
5. as your dog gets better at it then start making the finds a bit more difficult
6. always celebrate at the end

She's so dainty about getting her "toy"! One of mine is very careful and the other is the total opposite! Fun!

@azmauigirl yep, Ocean is careful not to 'offend', even with her toys... My boys are like bulls in a china shop, the more they crash into things and rip them apart to get to something, the better...

@nancyspore We are doing great! We are anxious to get our agitliy season going! We are hoping to go to the EGC in Stevi next month (not sure how Duchess will deal with the gates, since we haven't really practiced with them) and hitting the AKC trial in Great Falls in April.
