"Find It"
as told by Scooter Scotty 
  

"Hi, I'm Scooter Scotty. Did you know that one of the most important parts of my body is my nose? It's not just lovely to look at; my nose is capable of smelling things twenty thousand times better than yours! The game of Find It is so simple that it's a good one for beginners (owners and dogs alike). You can count on my keen sense of smell to help me catch on quickly to this easy game!"

HERE'S HOW THE GAME WORKS

"Get three plastic cups and some of those good treats. Put a treat under each cup and swirl the cup around to make a scent trail outside the cup."

"Now, lead me over to the cups and put your finger on the scent trail, saying FIND IT, GOOD BOY, FIND IT. As soon as I figure out how to knock the cup over and get the treat, praise me like it's going out of style!"
 

Macie says...

One third of all homeowner insurance claims are for dog bites. The more you build your dog's confidence, the less likely he will be aggressive or fearful.

Millions of dogs lose their homes every year due to aggressive behavior problems. Playing proper games with your dog can solve and prevent these problems.
