5 Toys - 50 Ideas

One only needs a Tug, Ball, Sock, Dummy and Rope.

Review: The book 'Games box for dogs' immediately arouse my interest. It is a book which contains 50 different games for which one needs only 5 different toys. As I own an exemplar of a dog who resists going for a walk when it's raining, I immediately was excited about the games which entertain the dog inside the house. The games are very easy to play and are going from easy to more difficult and skillful. For some of the games, the dog has to really make an effort and think independently.

The presentation of the book is also very simple. For every game it is listed where the game can be played (inside, outside or both), who can play the game (one dog or more dogs) and the degree of severity of the game (easy, medium, difficult). Furthermore, I like that it is listed what skill every game trains, what it improves and what it provides.

I have already played a few games with Rocky and even though he is rather lazy when it comes to playing games, he still seemed to enjoy it. He especially liked the games which tested his obedience.

For ball games, he rather quickly lost fun playing it. Luckily there are enough games so that a game can be found for every dog and owner.

I can recommend the book to every dog owner. It is not only fun for the dog, but also for the owner.
