Enrichment - Seeking Input From Breeders & Multiple Dog Households

[gundoglover]

Older Golden Retrievers & young Brittanys. These gundogs are biddable but need their brains exercised as well as their bodies.

a) asking them to go on, over, under, or around various obstacles, ie informal puzzles

b) off lead time on acreage, where they hunt rabbits

c) formal lessons in obedience, retrieving, show

d) games with toys, etc

[newfsie]

We have two newfoundland dogs and one golden cross border........Our dogs live inside with us or are outside when we are outside. We live on a rural property and have dams for the dogs to swim in every day. We do obedience training and believe it or not agility training. We do a lot of town walking for socialization and we go to areas to meet other dogs and people.

Our dogs have a lot of freedom on our property and go to a lot of places with us. they are lucky, because hubby works at home.

I am also a true believer in bones...Our pup has not chewed anything in her eight months with us. She is just too busy with her daily bones
