Activity description

In canine freestyle, dogs learn to perform a choreographed routine featuring tricks like standing on their hind legs and twirling to music. This activity is an engaging way for you and your pooch to bond and get some exercise together. Once your furry pal masters beginner's obedience, you can teach them more advanced movements. One puptastic thing about dancing with your pooch is that you have the freedom to create your routine. There's no set pattern to follow, so you can use your creativity as you plan the different steps. When you and your pup are ready, take your show to the next level by participating in competitions or demos.

Step
1
Training
Before trying freestyle, your furry pal needs to know beginner's obedience. Some of the moves you choreograph will include heeling, sitting, and lying down on command. After Fido has the basics, add tricks like walking on their hind legs and turning in a circle.
Step
2
Dancing
Once your pal knows how to do a variety of moves like jumping through a hoop, rolling over, and taking a bow, you can put it together in a choreographed routine. Plan movements that are easy for your fur-baby to execute, and give it a whirl. Offer Fido lots of praise and rewards to build their enthusiasm.

Activity description

One way you can give your Engatzu Spaniel some mental stimulation is by teaching them how to play the shell game. A Spaniel's sense of smell is well-developed, so your pooch should learn this activity without much effort. They'll enjoy looking for a tasty treat and spending time with you as they play the game. Start with one cup when you teach your pooch. Once Fido can quickly go to the container and knock it over to get the reward, add more shells. Soon, you'll be to present your fur-baby with four cups and have them find the one that has a tasty piece of food under it.

Step
1
Teach them to find it
Start with one container that's about the size of a coffee cup. Show your pooch a treat, then place it under the shell and tell Fido to find it. When they touch the saucer or knock it over with their nose, let them have the goodie. Repeat this step a few times.
Step
2
Add cups
When Fido understands the concept, add a second cup. Only place a treat under one container, then shift them around on the ground and give the "find it" command. Praise every success. Once your furry friend can pick the vessel with the food every time, add another cup. With practice, you can add a fourth container. Play this game any time to entertain you and your pal.
