2. The «Change» Game
If you’re interested in working on your dog’s coordination and agility, this is one of the best dog games for you and your pup! This game consists of your dog changing lanes while walking whenever you pronounce the word “Change.” This is also known as a “front cross” and works amazingly in those every day walks at the park. It helps your dog pay attention to you rather than getting distracted by the evolving environment. This is also extremely helpful whenever you’re trying to avoid a dog confrontation. All you need to do is make your dog change his walking position, and your walk won’t be affected by it. So how to walk your dog while playing this game? In the first place, you need to teach your dog what the word “Change” means in this particular game. For that, grab some treats or even a toy and get your dog’s attention by making them sit on the right side, and then move the treat to the other side, making your dog follow it and sit on that side as well. Once you’ve got that figured out, you can start augmenting the speed and then start walking while doing it. Always remember to pronounce the word “Change”, so your dog learns to associate the word with movement and action.
