Thanks you!
all puppies want to play, they have left all their brothers and sisters where it was playing all day long - well in between naps. You dog will have to learn that you are not able to do this all the time. keep the play times short and sweet, around 10 minutes every couple of hours. try taking her for longer walks to help tire her out or when you are playing try incorporating more tiring games like fetch, where she would be glad for a little lie down afterwards, but be careful not to over do it as her bones and joints are still developing.
There is no set rule about how often you should play with your dog, the best advice I would give you is, play with her as much as you can, as a pup, this is her most important time, whatever happens now, makes her what she will be in the future.
If you can't be bothered playing with her, get a ball, go to a park and take one of those fold up chairs, and you'll just need to sit there and throw the ball, she'll bring it back for you, and she'll love you for that, and you are not having to spend time running around with her, but the main thing is, she's getting her exercise at the same time as having her fun.
There is no set amount of time, but you got a puppy and you are going to have to make some sacrifices to play with her. This is an important bonding time between you and your dog, so don't waste it. They grow up so fast.
She needs exercise. Get her to do something active, like fetch in a big open field. Let her run far and fast until she's obviously tired. Make sure she gets plenty to drink and then let her rest for a few hours. Then, when she's ready again, give her a toy to keep her busy if you are unable to attend to her. Buy a Kong or another toy that you put treats into. I usually fill mine with peanut butter and bits of food and then freeze it. This will keep her busy for a long period of time. (I usually do this when I leave the house)
Anyway, be sure she has plenty of bones and chew toys to play with on her own if you can't play with her, but you really can't just say "I don't feel like it." Suck it up! She's a playful puppy!
I played with my puppy for about a half an hour each day. But make sure it has water around because they will get very hot. Or you could play with her in the morning or in the evening, whenever it's the coolest. But anyway, playing with her everyday for about an half an hour should do it. She'll get strong and love to run!
you have to play with and love a growing puppy all the time ! play with her everyday for awhile and if you play with her for a good amount of time she will be tired so then she wont want to play as much ! because she wants to play because she has so much energy and she wants to let it out so play with her and she'll be tired
She's a puppy! CUTE! You need to play with her ALL the time. Or whenever you can, as much as possible. Show her how much you love her!
5 mins every time you see your dog.
you shouldent have got it if you werent commited
and if ur really smart you would take him for 3 walks a day!
it will tire the poor thing out
30 minutes is a healthy activity level for a dog. It doesn't have to be all at once, but 30 minutes is enough.
take her for long walks and she'll be tired so u wont have to play with her 4 a long time cuz she'll b tired and just want to be letft alone
Cocker Spaniel hah. Playing with a cocker spaniel. Hah. that's what she said. Hah.
I would say everyday for 15+ minutes.
Daily!!!
at least 2 hours a day!
Play constructive games which make her think, mental stimulation is more tiring that physical exercise, consequently she will be less demanding.As with any puppy she should have several play sessions a day.
Try this for a start, it how to teach your puppy to catch treats in its mouth.
It’s very simple to teach a dog to do this. The method I use is to take the dog into a small room (not the bathroom) I then throw a treat in the direction of the dogs mouth from s short distance. If the treat falls to the floor which it does at first; I either stand on it or grab it. It then becomes a race between my dog and myself to get the treat and eventually the dogs wins and catches the treat in her mouth.
HOW TO TEACH YOUR DOG TO FETCH/RETRIEVE.
The ideal location for this is a hall, narrow passage or the kitchen.
Prepare some treats, hopefully not just dried dog food. You will also need a toy or a ball; if it’s a big dog don’t use a small ball as he could swallow it.
Stand at the end of the hall or room and wind your dog up by throwing whatever object that you have decided to use, into the air several times and catching it yourself. Make excitable noises, then throw the object.
If your dog does not know how to fetch/retrieve don’t try to tempt him to do so. Your dog will probably pick up the object and take it to the corner of the room, or under a chair or a table. Go to your dog with a treat in your hand and your dog will drop the object in favour of the treat.
***Wind your dog up again with the object, get him excited and return to the place where you first threw the object from and throw it again. Your dog will pick up the object and then take it to the same place which he took it to the first time. Again offer a treat and he will give the object up.***
Repeat from ***to *** about eight times, however if he looses interest stop and start again the next day. If he is still keen throw the object from the place where he has habitually taken it and he will return there with the object. Show him a treat, exchange this for the object and throw a handful of treats onto the floor. End this exercise and do it again tomorrow. Eventually you can progress to the garden/yard
Don't bore the puppy with sessions that are too long and always end on success.
