Every dog has their unique way of engaging with balls—whether it’s retrieving, chewing, playing keep away... or not playing with it at all! Different motivations and preferences shape how they interact with their favourite ball or toy. It’s often not just about the ball itself; the environment and your interaction style play key roles too! Some dogs love retrieving anything—while others may prefer a hard ball over a squeaky one, or they might love a squishy chewy one but want to keep it all to themselves. 🐾 🐿️ Environmental distractions can influence their interest—if it’s a busy park, their focus might shift! 💡 Tips for Fun Ball Play: - Observe your dog’s style—do they prefer chasing, chewing, or keeping the ball close? - Experiment with different ball types to see what they enjoy most. - Use the environment to your advantage for focused play sessions. - Build anticipation by hiding the ball and playing interactive games! What’s your dog’s ball play style? 🎾🏀⚽️🎱🧶🏓🏒🏐 or 🙅‍♀️🚫 (watch the last 3 seconds too 🤪)

I am facing the fact that I may be told I need a hip replacement! Harry would love a hike everyday through the trails - BUT, currently I can not take him. So, has anyone used or know how well the treadmills work to burn off some energy ? I’ve heard that sniff trails are WAY more effective to provide the stimulation that a young dog needs. Any advise will be fantastic

I’m Angela I’ll be your stand-in camp leader for the next couple of days while Maren is off having her own adventure! 🎒🐕 So while she’s away, I want to get to know you lovely lot, and what better way than a game of… 🔥 “If my dog was a trail buddy….........” 🔥 Finish this sentence: My dog would be the trail buddy who ...................... 🎒 Maybe they’re the snack thief who steals everyone’s jerky 🧭 The navigator who gets you lost but looks really smug about it I’ll go first! 👋 👉 Hunter would be the trail buddy who insists on taking the most scenic (aka longest and muddiest) route possible , then farts in the tent all night. 👉 Blaze would be the buddy who carries nothing but still demands ALL the snacks as payment. Your turn – drop yours below! Who's exploring with the ultimate gremlin crew 🤣

Tonight you can join our Hoomans Offlead chat It's completely free! My very good friend and fellow Canine Advocate Sarah Jones will be joining us to talk about her dog in yellow movement. Here's a bit about Sarah She founded My Anxious Dog after noticing her own dog, Bella, became reactive and fearful. To help communicate Bella's needs, Sarah began using yellow ribbons and accessories to signal that she required space and not affection from passersby 🙄 We've all had this happen to us right ? Recognising this was a need shared by thousands of anxious dogs and their owners, Sarah expanded her concept into the #DogsInYellow awareness campaign and product range, including harnesses, leads, collars, hoodies, posters, and awareness packs This is a charity - you will not believe what she's acheived Come and join the chat as Sarah explains the dogs in yellow movement and how we can get involved Link to join us tonight at 7pm UK time -----> https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81942835767?pwd=DuNipXe03izy1Gd74ZjRaAhJjkw8sx.1
