Dogs love to play, and they love attention, so it is always a good idea to offer some fun activities for your pet. Every dog, of course, has a different temperament and different physical strengths and limitations. If you are looking for ways to keep your pet happy and healthy, here are a few suggested activities.

Dog training can be a good way to spend more time with your dog especially when still a puppy or you have a new dog at home, although it may not seem to be a fun activity at all. You will love and enjoy your dog more especially when already behaving properly, and these are among the many benefits you get with proper dog training. You will learn more about your dog's personality, and this you get with the dog training. Your dog will love the time you spend during the training because they love being with you, and during this training, you will be able to build a strong bond between you and the dog.

There are dog training classes, or you can opt to get a dog training DVD like "The Dog's Way," and this if you are not sure how to go with the training. Training your pet in 12 easy lessons can be what you will get with this dog training DVD. Dog skills like learning to sit, stay, come when called, leash walking, no excessive barking, or your dog not darting out the front door are some of the helpful skills you can train your dog. The dog training will make it easy for you to keep up with training while you are walking your dog out because this is the proper dog training system that also comes with a workbook and also reminder cards.

Dogs can be unique individually and all levels of exercises you give should fit because all dogs need exercises. Some dogs enjoy long walks and runs while others need the slower pace because it has to be noted that there are dogs with more stamina than others. You need to make sure of the path you go when walking with the dog in order to fit his age and physical condition, but it has to be noted also that the daily walks will be good for both of you.

Other activities that dogs enjoy are simply playtime at home. Your dog might enjoy tugging on toys, chasing after balls or running when you toss a favorite stuffed toy. Set aside a special time each day for play. Dogs love to play chase and can even play hide and seek, which definitely is good for the body and brain. Food puzzle toys can be a fun activity for some dogs, and these are toys in which you place a treat and the dog must work to retrieve the treat. Chew toys also can be beneficial to dogs, simply make sure that the toy is safe for your pet.

Dogs that are healthy have great energy, and for them you can consider agility training like playing with a Frisbee. There are cities and towns that have agility classes, agility clubs and also Frisbee dog clubs and this can be the way to give him the fun exercises as well as you getting out and knowing other dog owners. The proper dog training can be the good prerequisite for your pet dog as well as discussing the dog's health with the veterinarian before starting the heavy exercise programs.
