More fun inside while it's raining outside!

And its still raining so, what did Soos and I do for fun and an energy burn?  We played with the Tail Teaser! 
 
"WHAT is this thing?!"
 
Because of it's long handle, the tail teaser can be a bit scary for dogs.  So, we introduce it laying on the floor.  Soos can take as much time as he needs to look, sniff and walk around the tail teaser. 
 
As you can see Soos was ready to play!
 
 
Let the teasing begin! I start with keeping the sessions short and letting him grab ahold of tail.  This encourages play and it builds his confidence. 
 
 
  
Watch Soos in the first couple of seconds. You can see from his head that he was unsure about the tail moving over his head.  And he recovers quickly and is having a lot of fun.

 
Soos says "lets get playing!"  This is really wearing him out with all the jumping and the thinking about how to get ahold of the tail.
 
 
Run rattie run! 
We played this game for a good amount of time and then he was ready for a nap!
