Dog Games: Catching objects mid-air

A fun, easy to teach and mentally stimulating game to teach your dog is how to catch objects in mid-air. Dogs quickly catch on to this game and it’s a great way to keep your dog’s brain and body exercised. Couch potatoes particularly appreciate the fact that all they have to do is toss objects to the dog, meaning that the dog does all the work-not you. If your dog is recovering from surgery and/or wearing a surgical recovery collar, they’ll appreciate having something fun to do without putting a strain on their bodies.

This video will show you how to teach your dog to catch objects in mid-air. Once the dog learns the skill, you can transition to a using a variety of different objects and increasing the distance of your throws.

Happy playing, happy training!
