When we play with our dogs, we are increasing their bond to us, stimulating them mentally and encouraging stretching and exercising of muscles. By definition, a game should be something that is fun so here are some fun games to play with your dog this summer. 

1) Playing with a stick that has a rope attached on its end

This has a long stick to which a rope is knotted, right at its end. The rope has a lure attached to it which excites a dog to run after it. Make sure you allow your dog to grab the lure and let him win as this will keep them engaged and the activity will be fun because of the increased involvement from both the ends. 

2) Tug of war

Involving your dog in playing tug of war can really be interesting and fun full activity. This is played with the help of a rope ending with a lure. The lure is chased by the dog and once he will get to grab it the game will begin. The basic rule says that if a dog’s teeth will touch your hand while pulling the rope then you’ll lose. And letting your dog win will definitely be enthusiastic as this makes a dog feel much happier and builds up the confidence to take more participation. 

3) By playing frisbee

Starting the game by playing with a soft small disc would be a great option since the original frisbee is quite hard which might hurt your dog. Once your dog will get to know that he is supposed to run and dive in order to chase the frisbee, it will be a fun and exciting game.   

4) Use bubbles
