Do you interact with your dog or dogs on a regular basis?

Similar questions: interact dog dogs regular basis.

My dog gets a great deal of attention... almost too much.. so that when we leave the house we can hear her crying inside! My beagle is only 18 months old, she's our youngest "child," so all family members spoil her. Some of the ways we interact with her are: 1.My children throw a tennis ball for her to "fetch," 2.

She's still training us, so we practice our tricks and good manners every other day 3. She and my husband have howling contests ( he loses every time!) 4. Hide and seek>> one of us will run from the dog and hide... she barks when she finds us or gives up, which ever comes first 5.

She invented her own game of chase... she runs to us, turns around at our feet and runs away.. FAST..... but she has developed a "track" first, run down the length of the kitchen, throught the dining room, around through the family room, onto the sofa and back to the kitchen!( I think this is her living out her fantasy of being a canine Danica Patrick. ) 6. Taking a daily walk.... we've just started being truly consistent since school's been out.. but it's become a group outing and it gives of us time together to interact and bond with each other as a family.... 7.

We've taken up hiking as our newest family hobby... and this includes all family members! Our dog loves getting the chance to "lead our pack" as well as defend us from the other scary dogs and people we may meet on the trails. She's been kayaking with us once, but detested wearing her life preserver so much that we haven't taken her again.

Oh, very much so. Even the retired sled dog is a house dog, so both are in and out of the house frequently, usually pretty much at their whim. I’ve often thought that if I were really truthful on a job resume, I’d list my current occupation as doggie doorman, in fact.

Sigh. The Sheltie, going on 13, is largely into serious foot warming for her daily activity. She still hasn’t quite given up on dreams of someday being able to herd the sled dog in the direction she’d prefer, but her strenuous daily activity is limited.

She’s the one I can trust 150% off-leash, however, so she’s the one that goes on short walks around the yard or down the hill to the mailbox with me, or that I simple take along for a car ride when schedules permit. Since the day she came home from the shelter with me, she’s considered the front passenger seat her spot and wants to be there even if there is a human passenger, so that can be entertaining. Fortunately, most of my friends are probably far more into dogs than I am, so that’s not an issue.

In any case, Foxy (the sheltie) has been the perfect child from day one, the dog I’d clone if possible, so I consider it high praise from her when she opts to spend parts of the day inside with me instead of outside monitoring the neighbor’s puppies antics. She does take that duty seriously, tho’, and as the snow melted and the sunny but cool days progressed, she’s been right on top of that job. Hazy, aka Hazel, the retired sled dog, is my wild child.

Until I got her, to the best of my knowledge, she’d never been inside a house. She wasn’t real sure she wanted to be a house dog, either, and in fact can be difficult to persuade to come inside during these long summer days, but she adapted wonderfully well and quickly. She didn’t have much choice.

I got her in late October, just in time for the temps to dip into the - 20s and I quickly decided that venturing outside to feed, water and love on the new sled dog was not my idea of fun. Well, the idea was a good one, it was that dang -20 degrees that wasn’t agreeing with me.So, I snapped a leash to her one very cold morning and dragged, and that was about the best word choice, her inside for good. She’s a hoot.

As a sled dog, she missed some of those little joys other dogs take for granted. I have photos of her that first night, absolutely entralled by the ticking of a clock. She also turned into a sneak thief of all things cute and fuzzy, which endangered my stuffed husky collection.

Jeez, and they were otherwise so easy care and don’t eat the same expensive dog food these two get.In any case, I’m rambling. What does one do with a retired sled dog? Well, on normal days, the same as one does with any other dog, love ’em, toss balls and kongs, and tell them in no uncertain terms that they are surely the best retired sled dog that ever lived (even if I can’t have a cat cos she’d eat it).

The coolest thing tho’ about having a retired sled dog is that while her stamina isn’t up to racing days, she’s still more than happy, heck, ecstatic to be harnessed up and hooked to a sled. Nothing long, she’s not in that kinda shape, but she’s good for a few miles and would go much further if I’d let her, but one of us has to have some sense. Foxy, having no desire to find joy in being swamped in snow drifts, stays home and keeps the home fires going for us until we return, then Hazy and she retire to the doggie pillows where, I’m sure, Hazy takes great delight in recounting all my mushing adventures (misadventures?) of the day.

Right now, of course, it isn’t mushing weather. Foxy’s snoozing by my feet as I’m perched on the sofa with my laptop. She’s rarely far from me unless she’s on outdoor patrol.

Hazy’s, well, where they heck is Hazy? Probably in my bedroom snoozing on her pillow, dreaming Iditarod-dreams. I look at her sometimes and marvel that she’s the same dog that went from Anchorage to Nome with her teammates, crossing under the burled arch in Nome to genuinely earn the title of being an Iditarod-dog.

Now, of course, she has a much more important job. She’s got to keep me straight and keep Foxy on her toes by refusing to be herded.It keeps us busy. Sources: Notes from Hazy and Foxy's Journal?

We sing My dog lives with my parents. I see him 2-3x a week. He is a chubby little dachshund.

I pick him up, he licks my whole face, and then I make these certain noises that make him sing. He puts his head back and makes the funniest noises. For the rest of my visit he usually settles on someone's lap or at our feet.

He is a very affectionate dog. My mother walks him (real walks, not just in the yard) 2-3 times a day, and she and my dad are retired and home all day with him. He brings his toys when he wants to play, and if no one plays with him he plays by himself and sings to his toys the way he sings to me.It's very cute.

Dogs are a lot of work and my husband doesn't like them. We have cats, parrots and fish at our house; my parents have the dog and a cat.

Yes. & As much as possiable HI, Yes, we do things together everyday. I normall spend all day with them.

I am currently off work due to a disability, but I am still able to go walking with my dogs. We take walks fairly often, most days of the week, espically when it is nice out, like it has been recently. My little dogs will walk for miles and miles!

We're not gonna win any contests or set any new land speed records, but we make it. When we go to a park to walk, we normally walk between 2.5 and 6 miles depending on what I feel like I am able to do. The 6 mile walk is more like 4 hour stroll... but thats mainly becuase of me being slow and needing to rest, not the dogs.My fieance, Karen and I have 3 dogs.

Karen works in green bay, about 50 miles from here, so she stays at here parrents house, ( who happen to live very close to where she works ) for a couple days at a time when she has long shifts. So sometimes 2 of the boys hang out up there so she can walk them on her breaks and such. Then I just have akiva.

But most of the time all 3 of them are here. Just thought I would explain that, because sometimes in my answers I am talking about just one dogs, and other times I am talking about 3 dogs (and at times, I talk about my parrents dogs as well,, gosh with them it makes 7 dogs)... Akiva is 4 years old, and he weights somewhere around 17 pounds. Vasco is 3 years old, and he weights about 13 or 14 pounds.

Bae is 1 year old, and he weights about 11,,maybe 12 pounds. They are all shih Tzu dogs. They are all prebreed dogs, from highly respectable breeders, we have met most of there family generations back.

They are all pretty close to show qulity shih tzu's. Akiva and Bae are both show quality. Vasco has too curely of a tail and some minor issues with teeth alignment.

Its fun to know they were breed well and breed very close to the standard. There my little hiking dogs! They climg up rocky hills with me, travel on paved streets, gravel roads, fields, and some times pits of mud and even in the water some times.

They go out boating with my and my dad, karen comes along too sometimes. Vasco loves the water. He loves riding on the top of the front of hte boat the very best!

I think its about his favorite thing in the world. When I am not able to do much and I have to just rest around home, they all hang out with me. Akiva generally wants to sit right next to me in the lazyboy, and thats just fine.

Sometimes vasco sits on my foot rest, other times on the top of the chair by my head. Bae will come up on my lap at times, but he likes to go in the other chiar if karen is not here or on the large floor pillow and blanket pile. They all wear harnesses all the time, and they wear seat belts in the car, although if you don't buckle him in in time,, akiva will sneak up into the back window of the car, even in a small car, he crams himself up into that little space, you know back by where your speakers are.

He loves it up there, but I normally bring him down and put his belt on. They travel across town to my parrents to play with the shih tzus and maltese over there. They go to parks to go swiming with us as well.

They go to stores when they can, but many people don't like having dogs in there stores... Well also play with our toys, we have tons of toys and bully sticks. I come up with creative meals for them to eat, and I watch them eat, all sorts of weird things like cow toung, chicken hearts, whole chicken quaters, etc.Soo much fun to hear them go Crunch Crunch! Bottom line, I spend far more time with the dogs than I do with people.

And no offense intended to people, but I am pretty happy with getting to spend a lot of time with my dogs,,,, and Karen too.... I hope that answers your question. We also spend a lot of time looking for new intresting food for the boys and for shopping for new toys and treats, and lately grooming supplies. Sources: personal experiance .

Constantly - When I'm home she's always in the same room. If you don't spend a lot of time with you dog, especially if you only have one dog, then you're doing your dog a real disservice. Dogs need interaction on a regular basis.

We walk three times a day, and I frequently take a moment to pet her or do a little play of some sort. If one doesn't have time to spend with a pet, why have the pet in the first place? .
