I've trained Muppet to walk/run on our treadmill. I used treats in the beginning, but gradually faded them out for obvious reasons. It's an effective form of exercise, but he doesn't enjoy it like…Continue

Comment by Jane, Guinness and Murphy on December 11, 2009 at 12:48pm: I like the idea of the touch the balloon game. Does it scare Willow if it breaks? That would be the one thing I'd worry about with Guinness.

Comment by Annie Starlight Dancer Hovis on November 20, 2009 at 4:07pm: Something we do with Annie is fill a bone with treats and let her play with it trying to find out whats inside.

Comment by Jane, Guinness and Murphy on November 20, 2009 at 7:11am: Check out this website.....www.caninefreestyle.com. I'm thinking of ordering the first video and giving this a try. It really looks like so much fun.

Comment by Azure & Muppet on November 16, 2009 at 10:10pm: No, we haven't. This is our first winter with Muppet so we haven't done anything yet! But we go sledding every year, so I'm sure we will be taking Muppet. I think it would be good to start on a small hill first, before taking them on a big one, which might just really scare them so they won't like it.

Comment by Jane, Guinness and Murphy on November 16, 2009 at 4:24pm: Has anyone ever tried tobogganing with your Doodles? We have a huge hill where we could take Guinness, but I'm wondering if he would like it?

Comment by Jane, Guinness and Murphy on November 15, 2009 at 5:38am: It's pictures like this that make me get all crazy and soooo want another doodle. This may be the cutest puppy ever!

Comment by Annie Starlight Dancer Hovis on November 14, 2009 at 5:31pm: This is our first winter with annie!!!!!

Comment by The Berry Oaks Doodle Ranch on November 14, 2009 at 12:52pm: Guinness and I also play ball on the stairs. To me it's good exercise when it's raining outside. We also play treats in the bottle, when we empty a plastic club soda bottle(taking the paper wrap off..also the cap & plastic ring at the top) I fill it with treats or just small amount of kibbles. He throws it around the room to get the treats out, most times it takes awhile he give it up when it is empty.

Comment by Jaime on November 14, 2009 at 10:46am: We play come instead of ball on the stairs to keep the dogs speed at a reasonable level and to prevent hip problems or bangs and falls. You can also play the same game from the front to the back of the house. We also play come and find it as someone else mentioned. Searching for hidden treats is great fun too.

Comment by Azure & Muppet on November 13, 2009 at 8:46pm: I think using stairs is a great idea, as long as it is safe for their hips. I'd imagine if their hips are normal and healthy (no dysplasia) than it would be fine.
