Puppy Games Teach Your Cocker Spaniel Puppy To 'Find It!'
Loading
Most dogs enjoy playing 'Find It!' puppy games but your Cocker Spaniel puppy will especially love this game as he's a natural hunter and retriever!
As well as being great fun, it's a good way of using up your dog's energy - both physical and mental.
First ask your dog to 'Sit' and 'Wait'.
Then put a treat in your hand and let him sniff it before hiding it. Make it easy at first; let your puppy see where you hide the treat before you ask him to 'Find It!'.
When he 'finds' his treat, let him have it, and don't forget to praise him for getting it right.
Repeat this exercise a few times each day until he gets the hang of it.
As he gets better at finding the treat make it a little more difficult for him; don't let your puppy see where you hide the treat.
You can later progress to hiding treats in another room; behind a door; just underneath furniture; but don't make it too difficult for him.
Don't worry if he doesn't find them quickly; the idea is to stimulate your puppy's mind and get him to work off any excess energy.
There are many other games you can play with your Cocker Spaniel puppy that are fun to play, but which will also help to stimulate him.
We've jotted a few down for you to help you get started - although I'm sure that's not necessary!
