Activities For Rott Peis

If your Rott Pei excels at tracking, you might like to play a little game of hide and seek with them at home. By hiding your pet's number-one favorite toy and then encouraging them to find it, you'll be giving your pooch a grrr-eat mental workout as well as plenty of one-on-one time with you.

If your dog isn't that excited about toys, you might want to try the same game but hide one of their favorite treats instead, or maybe find a hiding spot for yourself and wait for your dog to track you down.

Here's how you can teach your dog to engage in this fun treasure hunt.

Is your Rott Pei a water baby who loves getting wet? Is your pet also recovering from an injury and in need of some low-impact exercise?

If you answered yes to these two questions, you might want to try letting your dog get their heart rate up by taking a walk on a water treadmill.

Available in some dog hydrotherapy and physiotherapy centers, these paw-some machines let your dog exercise without placing too much stress on their joints and muscles. The water adds difficulty to the workout by providing extra resistance, while it also has a compressing effect to help aid your dog's recovery.

If your Rott Pei is endlessly active and just wants to run and run all day long, the sport of canicross might be a paw-fect fit. This sport is a lot like sledding without the sled, and it'll provide an excellent workout for you and your pooch.

Canicross is essentially cross-country running with your dog, but your dog is tethered to you via a harness and a bungee line. Your role is that of the driver, giving commands to direct your pooch where you want to go. It's fast, fun and a great way to develop a strong bond with your pet, so here's how to get started.
