Barkin’ Doggie Biscuit Hunt

I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren’t certain we knew better.  They fight for honor at the first challenge, make love with no moral restraint, and they do not for all their marvelous instincts appear to know about death.  Being such wonderfully uncomplicated beings, they need us to do their worrying.  ~George Bird Evans, Troubles with Bird Dogs

Tobiah taught me this really fun game to do with dog treats- but it only works with Barkin’ Doggie Biscuits, of course. 

1.  Put your Barkin’ Doggie in another room or somewhere s/he cannot see you.

2.  Grab your freshly baked bag of barkin’ doggie biscuits.

3.  Open the bag and take a sniff. (Think about how you wish you could have one of these, but you must save them all for your very sweet pup.)

4.  Scatter 4-5 of the gourmet yummy treats all over a room that is easy to cleanup (but we are sure there will not be anything left to cleanup).  If your pup has already had too many of our treats, break up a couple into smaller treats.

5.  Your pup has already inhaled the sweet aroma of the best dog treat on the planet.  S/he is wagging its tail, jumping up and down, and perhaps barkin’ in excitement.

6.  Let your dog out and see what happens.  It is so much fun to watch them sniff out those all-natural dog cookies.

Once you have played this game a few times- the next time, have your dog(s) sit in the corner of the room and not move until you have hidden all the treats.  This will help in teaching your dog how to sit patiently until you say “come” or “go.” And an obedient, tummy-filled doggie is definitely a barkin’ doggie in the making.

Have some fun.  If you can take some pictures- please send them our way.  We love barkin’ excited doggies.

Cheers and Happy Barkin’!
