Dog Play / Activities for Dogs
When people and dogs do things together it is good news all around. Many of
these activities provide the structure that helps people learn to better
communicate with their dogs. The dogs have a better opportunity to learn good
manners. That makes them easier to live with and less likely to be given up.
The activities help people get in touch with one another to share information.
That also helps people learn about dogs, to avoid problems, and to solve them
in a healthy way.
