Luna loves this game, you can hide her favorite toy Skunky the skunk in shoes, in envelopes, in boxes, on bags, under the carpet, behind cushions or poking out of drawers and she will find it every time.
Sheep-ball is a game played with a ball to help your collie learn commands commonly used to train working sheepdogs.
Collies take to this activity like a duck to water and will love learning the sheep herding skills of their ancestors. You only need a ball and some open space so once they have mastered the basics you can take a ball with you to the park and play. Collies are great at catch. You can start them off catching small treats and soft toys, and eventually they will be diving to catch their balls.
Tug of war works great with rope toys and soft toys, but you can also play with balls and ropes together. Tug of war is a great way to bond with your dog. They will bring it back to you to start all over again anyway! A rope or stuffed toy may hurt their gums if you pull too hard, especially in young dogs. Collies love tug! A tug rope is great, but you can even make your own tug toy with an old handtowel, washcloth, or knotted sock.
Usually I start a game with Yoshi, my exuberant little female Collie, then my big boy Gustav joins in. If he takes over as nanny dog, my job is done. Also, Collies tend to have a weird love of paper products, and mine often play tug with and simultaneously shred paper towel rolls and cardboard boxes! These are a little more interactive than your standard hide and seek, requiring personal human involvement. Ask your dog to sit, and show them that you have a treat.
Move your hands behind your back and switch the treat from hand to hand. Offer your dog two closed fists and have them bump your fist with their nose or a paw to try to find the treat. Julie also recommends the shell game for both canines and felines.
Your pet will be relying on their nose more than their eyes, anyway. You just need three cups placed upside down. Let your pet see you put a treat under one and mix them all around. Then, with their nose or paw, have them select which cup hides the treat.
Clever Smooth Collie wow. Fetch is great for the younger, more energetic doggos like Yoshi. Oddly, she will only play fetch indoors, perhaps because there are far more exciting things to do outside? When I throw a ball or squeaky toy down our hallway, she goes bouncing after it and brings it back so we can do it again! Sometimes I also put a ball in a sock for an added level of fun. A well-rinsed milk jug or water bottle with the plastic ring removed can make a great homemade puzzle toy.
I usually put cat kibble into a water container and cut small holes in the sides to make a treat dispenser, and this keeps our pups occupied for a while as they nudge it with nose and paws or pick it up and shake it — depending on their styles. Just be sure to supervise and make sure your dog is only eating the contents, not the containers. Puzzle dishes can also be created with an old muffin tin and tennis balls whole or cut in half as covers for the holes. Mostly I just feint and lunge from side to side, and she runs around me in happy circles, barking like a fool.
For those whose play style is more similar to mine, you might enjoy using a flirt pole fairly easy to make with string, stick, and toy that will allow you to remain relatively stationary while your dog does the work.
Monkey is great for a group game. Once an object stops, so does their desire to chase it. However, some cat-like Collies will actually bat at non-moving objects to get them rolling again.
Others will carry things around in their mouths. Or maybe not so lucky. Yoshi is actually in the return-the-item category, and my arm tires pretty quickly. No, Collies are into frisbees with holes in them! This Chuckit frisbee is marketed for visibility and durability, yet the material is ideal for soft-mouthed Collies. As modeled by Circe below, it can also be worn as an accessory.
Also, it has more of a typical frisbee structure with a curved edge for better grip when throwing. If they also light up, bounce well, or have an intriguing texture — these are bonuses. Taio agrees, they are truly fun! Yoshi loves any ball that she can really sink her teeth into and my male Collie, Gustav, loves to challenge her. These Kick Fetch balls are fantastic for so many reasons! They float. They give dogs a better grip. They have a random bounce pattern.
Now we all know Collies can be particular about their textures — so here are some recommended soccer balls:. Added benefits include size and color options two of which are scented.
Definitely a winner. If your Collie prefers a softer material, the ZippyPaws soccer ball is made to order. It may look like an ordinary soccer ball, but it is much more compressible. Plus, it squeaks! Some puzzle toys are exceptions to the general Collie Trifecta noisy, tuggable, and shreddable of requirements.
There are a few different versions of this, but the basic idea is a soft, squishy piece with holes in it to contain tiny, adorable creatures. The toy is available in three sizes, and you can also choose from bees, birds, or hedgehogs. Once again, same concept… but sci-fi. Treat dispensers are a blessing from heaven. You can sit back and take a break while your dog goes ham. Collies love to be challenged, so this is a great way to give them mental stimulation and rewards at the same time.
These can range from simple to complex. Pick one that you think your Collie can enjoy, not get frustrated with. They boop: it bobs — and goodies are released! Here is an uncomplicated puzzle toy that is especially suited for introducing young puppies to brain games. This is how Freckles gets her kibble at mealtimes. It works great in place of a slow feeder to keep her from making herself sick, and she seems to enjoy working for her food.
