There is a sport called Treibball that’s very popular with dogs now. It involves the dog pushing a large ball into a net I think (across a large area) and there are classes available. Of course it’s also something you can teach at home by teaching them touch and then working with small balls, gradually increasing up to the large ones. At the very least it can help the dog get the ball unstuck and teach them to use their nose as opposed to their teeth.
You saw how Piper had to stop chasing it to eat some snow eh? lol he’s addicted to snow and we haven’t had any new stuff in a couple weeks. It’s much worse with the new snow! I usually have to walk behind him giving him little nudges with my foot constantly until he decides to do his business. It’s 2 steps eat, 2 steps eat at least 5+ times. Normally when it’s super cold and I want him to go before his paws get too cold!
Finnie eats snow too but not nearly as much! And Blueberry likes the hard crunchy bits.
Interesting sport?? Didn't know about that one... RE the snow eating do you think it is like use eating a snow cone-- it cools them off???
