Have you ever wanted to play “Hide and Seek” but there is no one around to play with? Well, you can still play without your friends. You are probably thinking “I can’t play alone.” This is true, you can’t play “Hide and Seek” alone. The solution to your problem is… Train your dog to play “Hide and Seek” and then you will never be without a partner to play this game.
Things You Will Need
- Your Dog
- Dog Treats
- The Desire to Have Fun!
Training Instruction
- Choose a room where the seeker (dog) is to start in.
- Have your dog sit and stay in the room.
- With the dog treats in hand, leave the room.
- During the first few time, stand next to something easily visible to your dog (such as a wall).
- When you are ready and in place, call your dog.
- When your dog finds you, praise him/her and give him/her a dog treat.
- Repeat steps 1-6 several times until your dog gets the idea.
- When you feel your dog is ready, change your hiding place to a harder spot.
- When your dog finds you, praise him/her and give him/her a dog treat.
TIPS
- Before you can start training your dog to play “Hide and Seek,” your dog first needs to know how to “Sit,” “Stay” and “Come.”
- Depending on your dog, training can take up to 2 weeks before your dog gets the hang of the game.
- During the training sessions, do not give your dog too many treats. You don’t want your dog to get sick or overweight from eating too many dog treats.
