There are several games to drain the energy of different types of dogs. You can play all kinds of these games with your dog. They will entertain both you and your dog as well as help to drain your dog’s energy. It’s interesting to know that this issue is very important. Because many of the dogs’ moods as well as their daily activities depend on their energy level. Therefore, their energy-draining should be done in a completely creative and entertaining. In the previous parts, we explained some of these activities. In this article, we try to introduce you to the rest of the tips as well as the best ways you can drain your dog’s energy.

Playing with fishing hooks

A fishing hook is actually a wooden or plastic rod to which a light toy is attached with a string. By shaking the hook, the toy shakes and the dog’s hunting instinct is stimulated. By moving the toy on the ground, nodding, lifting, and other creative movements, you can stimulate your dog to work and drain his energy. When the dog picks up the toy, you should tell him to “leave it” and then give him a treat or pet the dog. Otherwise, the game becomes a tug of war game and the fishing hook is broken. This game is more suitable for puppies and small dogs because big dogs can catch the toy with one movement and the game will end immediately!

Finding a good friend for your dog!

A good and practical way to drain a dog’s energy is to find a playmate. If your friends and acquaintances have a dog, you can ask them to bring their dog to your house one day so that the two can play together. Dogs of the same age and size make friends and play better and faster. Although other dogs will soon become friends with each other if they have been socialized well from a good age.

Dogs play together without the need for toys. But if you give them a ball or a few exciting games, you will help make the game more interesting. Jumping, chasing and even struggling in a friendly way is completely natural and safe. But during the game, you need to have full control over their behaviour. Whenever you feel that they’re getting too excited and the game is getting rough, separate them quickly.

Teaching your dog stunt!

Another way to drain a dog’s energy is to train him a whole bunch of funny stunts and tricks. Training sessions should be exciting and fun enough. If so, they are a good way to strengthen the relationship between you as well as drain your energy.

There are also a variety of stunts such as training to die, roll over, jump out of the ring, and dozens of funny tricks and stunts that you can teach your dog to both entertain and drain his mental and physical energy.
