There are so many games, tricks, sports, and activities to do for dogs and their owners. Dogs really are a man's best friend. There are scent games for dogs. There are speed tests for dogs. There are obstacle courses for dogs. And some activities better match some breeds of dogs than they match other breeds of dogs. Some activities could involve more than one dog; or a dog and one or more other animals. Some activities can be done indoors; while some activities can be done outdoors. And the props needed for these activities can be simple or intricate. It is a great idea to have your dog try new things. And not only your dog will enjoy hours of fun, so will you and your family. If dogs are loyal companions of humans, then why not engage your dog in fun activities that really strengthen the bond between you and your dog. An example of the bond between a dog and its owner can be seen in the book called the Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell.
