A Game for Sharpening Your Dog's Attention Skills

Here is a reprint from Dogster's Daily Dog Tip... Looking for a fun and different game to play with your pup? Then, read on!

I enjoy this game so much! Whenever it's played in the classroom, it's even better. This game is a great alternative for people who are used to bringing treats up to their face to get their dogs to look at them. Here's how it works: Use people food for this game (string cheese bits, hot dogs or steak). Put a few at a time into your mouth. When your dog looks at you, spit a treat at him! Dogs who realize that food comes flying out of peoples' mouths just for looking at them tend to look at faces more! Some dogs catch the treats, brownie points for them. As your dog gets good at this game, take it outside. Put the dog on leash and simply practice in your yard if you need to. Main side note on this game: don't play at the dining table! 

Ha Ha!

A guy is driving around the back woods and sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty:

"Talking Dog For Sale"

He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard.

He goes out back and sees a Golden Labrador sitting there.

"You talk?" he asks. 

"Yep," the Lab replies. 

After the guy recovers from the shockof hearing a dog talk,he says "So, what's your story?"

The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was a pup. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years straight. But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a bunch of medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired." 

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. 

"Ten dollars," the guy says.

"Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?" 

"Because he's a liar. He never did any of that stuff!"

Camden needs a home!

This is Camden and her owner can't keep her, can you help? She is 6 years old and has lived with her owner since she was a puppy, but she does not like small children and her owner has lots of young nieces and nephews so she can't keep her. She is a very sweet dog who has been coming to All Wags for forever, she just gets a little afraid around small children, so she would need a new forever home where there aren't any. She loves older children, so a home with teenagers would be great. We are really hoping that we can help her find a home. Please help!
