While serious training is important for all dogs，playtime is just as important． Use these games to help teach your dog how to play．
1．Hide and Seek
Hide and seek isn’t just for kids．Dogs can really enjoy this game．Pick up one of your dog’s favorite toys or treats．Tell your dog to stay．   When you are ready，call your dog to come to you．If possible，squeak(使吱吱叫)the toy or shake the treats．Reward your dog with praise and the toy／treat when she finds you．
2．Fetch
Many dogs have a natural ability to fetch．Other dogs can be taught how．  Play  indoors with a soft toy or outdoors in a fenced-in area with a ball or disc．For dogs that really  love to run，try this game of fetch!
3．Find the Treat
Dogs have superior senses of smell，and most love to use their noses to find food．Let your  dog use her brain and her nose to find hidden goodies．First，have your dog stay out of sight．Then，hide her favorite treats in various places around the room．  If help is needed，you can lead her around or point to areas for her to explore．
Whatever the game，safety comes first!Remember to watch your dog for signs of  exhaustion or overheating when you are playing．Stop if your dog seems tired or shows signs of  anxiety．    When other dogs or people are around，it may create a dangerous distraction(分神)．
