I just wanted to post a few videos of some of Iona’s favorite games.  This girl loves to play!  She plays so many silly games.  Many of them she makes up.  What you see here actually took a bit of work.  While she tugged a lot as a puppy, I had to work on my technique to get her back into the game as an adult dog.  I would love to get her tugging in all kinds of environments and that is something that we need to work on some more.  Long term, I would love to use the tug a reward for scent work, but I doubt that will happen with this dog as she has such a long history with getting rewarded with food.  However,  it is nice to use the tug for training in the house rather than food.
