Thanks everyone!

That's a great idea nOmad, my daughter loves hide and seek, and when my daughter wakes up from nap the dogs are the first to get her!!! They will all love that game... Help to tire my daughter who seems to have the energy of a border collie!

Sounds like the dogs would like that one !

When I'm going out I scatter the dog's breakfast kibble all over the yard. Takes them longer to find each piece than eat it our of a bowl.

April & Sooty used to love to play tug. We would give them a piece of rag & they would tug each other for ages. Tilba & Sooty do it sometimes but not as much.

There's lots of tricks you can teach with clicker training.

Tilba is learning to ride a skate board. She can play a toy piano & spin a spinning top by pushing down on the lever.

I used to do the hide dinner round the garden thing with my older girl Taz, but I tried it the other day with Sparky along and he stupidly just followed her around instead of looking for himself so she got all the treats !!

I also give them cardoard boxes and tubes etc, I've found that although Taz doesnt like to pay as much she can't stand the thought that he's having all this fun without her so she has to join in !!! LOL

Your dogs sound amazing to be able to spin a top. My dogs can not do that!
I wish I could find more games to suit them. One of my dogs I adopted when he was a year old and to my surprise he did not know how to play.
His first family did not teach him at all or walk him. He is very difficult to walk even now. It took me several months to get him to interact/play with dog toys and me. He has a very happy and intelligent personality. We bought a puppy a couple of years ago and they play together and it seems to have brought him out of his shell. He will fetch the younger dog in the yard to bring her into the house by tugging at her fur around her neck and sort of herding her up to the door. And he is supposed to be a shih tzu - I did not know they had that kind of instinct. The two dogs chase each other around the yard in their own chase games.
