I've played it by hiding a tennis ball instead of myself. It is a great way to burn off mental and physical energy indoors! And I had the very same...hmmm guess we need to work on those stays a little better when there is a lot of "pressure" on! :) Great game Mary! I've played it by hiding a tennis ball instead of myself.

I've even adapted it for my parent's Australian Shepherd/Lab in that I make him find a specific person in the family - not just the person playing the game. We'll make him stay then say "go find mom" (etc.) I even make him "go find Ammo" (the dachshund)...really helps when Ammo decides to wander off after a scent at the farm.<br><br>I also sometimes use the treat as the target to find. I'll hide a cookie under a bed or somewhere odd and ask him to go find it. He really has to use his nose to follow the trail I took. The Dachshund is a lot better at this one! Its that badger smelling nose. :-) I love playing this game with my dogs too.
