you’ve got to WORK
I joke around the house quite often that in these tough economic conditions, J.Boobear is going to have to go out with a sandwich board on him & advertise for work. Hey, if a 10yo can win Westminister…the LEAST he can do is perhaps get himself (read: us) on “Ellen”.
I digress. I do think it’s important that dogs have a “job”–barring any physical conditions or limitations. Dogs do feel and respond the best when they think they are pleasing their owners and being “good”. It challenges & stimulates them physically and mentally, as well.
Here are some suggestions:
HERDING
AGILITY
FLYBALL
THERAPY DOG
BACKPACKER
FOSTER PARENT
TRACKING/SEARCH
FREESTYLE DANCE
OBEDIENCE
FRISBEE
CARTS
SWIMMING
TENNIS BALL (or other tiem) FETCH & RETRIEVE
What are some others?
