I have recently started to offer a game night once a month where people can bring their dogs to a class and play a board game called "My Dog Can Do That". It is neat little game with several level catagories. Each team gets points for being able to complete the task on the card. These range from having your dog dit and you do a mexican hat dance around them to getting your dog to pick up a specific toy out of several on the floor. There are many other fun activities in the game. It has been loads of fun in the oast when I have played it with other trainers and fellow clients. I am hoping that it yields a great turn out.

What I would love to hear from you guys is what types of short activities you might come up with to add to the game. Make sure you give a point scale of 1 - 10 points, and a beginner, intermediate or advanced level to the activity. I am always excited to hear what my clients and others come up with and it makes for new activities to add to the game and to use in class. Plus it will give all of us new ideas of things to work on with our dogs at home. These are always fun things to do with your dog over the summer when the kids have "so little else to do".
