What games do you play with your dog? I usually play fetch and a combination of fetch and hide-and-seek where I throw the ball then hide somewhere while he's chasing the ball and he has to find me to continue the game.

The joy our dogs and other pets bring us is a blessing.
I love to play with my dog as you with yours.
We too play fetch.
My dog has her favorite toy that she runs to fetch and brings back for another toss. She loves sticks but we also play hide-and-go-seek which is fun.
Roxy is oblivious to my leaving the immediate area, usually because she is busy with a stick. I hide behind big trees and call her. She runs so fast to find me. So cute.
I also have certain toys that I play tug with my dog. She loves it.
With other toys, I have her sit and stay and then throw it. I tell her good stay. Then ask if she is ready. She gets fired up and then I say Go Get It. She will bark with excitement and then run to get her toy, bringing it back for more.
We also play a game where I get three empty yogurt containers. I take one of her toys and place under one of the containers and then get her to find which one it is under and get it.
I love to play with my dog as she never fails to make me laugh.
We were given a gift of three different colored balls and a book of dog tricks which we are still working on. Looking forward to teaching her to put all of her toys away in her toy basket before she goes to bed. Lol

Ohh good luck trying to teach them to pick up their toys ! I've tried to teach mine that , it worked about as well as trying to teach the kids to pick up their toys , ha! It would be wonderful if they would do it thought hu?
One of our goofy games is El Toro ! I take an old bed sheet and wave it up in the air . My dogs love having the sheet fall over them so they run around with this sheet covering them . They get pretty hyper when we play it . I act like a bull fighter with a cape. When they come running I toss it up so it falls down on top of them . It's a hoot ! We also play fetch , and chase . dogs are soo fun!

Yes, dogs are certainly so much fun, that is for sure.
I am confidant that my dog will learn to return her toys to her basket.
She is very smart and knows what I ask of her.
She is on her way to doing it.
When I have this task accomplished I will set up the video camera and post it either on her website or on YouTube so you can have a look.
I don't have kids but I always picked up my own toys, lol.
Thank you for the comment.
I also play a similar game with her blanket. When she is on the bed I play with her, where's that puppy. I put the blanket over her and pull it off again and then back on, saying where's that puppy. She loves it. Gets right playful. Goofy dog.
