Giving dogs Jobs

In our latest article Working Dogs we went into detail on why you should give your dog a job and gave some examples of jobs for dogs. Here Id like to go further in our examples of dogs with jobs, perhaps some of these videos will give you some great ideas!

Check out Jesse and his owner & trainer heather! You bet they used clicker training to teach all of these useful tricks!



Get started with your dog teaching useful tricks with Clicking With Your Dog, dont forget your Clicker!

Heres Kaine the German Shepherd, Heather and Ashley work with him too.



Here they are together!



If your looking for something other than just around the house, Ive also seen dogs helping construction workers or eve mechanics who teach their dog to bring them tools. I wish I could find the video, one dog helps his owner who does roofing. He climbs up and down the ladder bringing his owner needed tools.

You can do water rescue work with your dogs as well as search and rescue work. Ive seen some people teach their dogs how help them clean up along side roads and such. Having their dog retrieve the trash and put it in the bag. There are so many things you can teach your dog to do, I hope Ive given you some ideas. Dogs love doing jobs, so give them something to do! Try out: Getting Started: Clicker Training for Dogs and be on your way to a helpful dog with a job!

On another note, yesterday I said I would continue with going into more detail on winter activities with dogs. I will be continuing those over on Squidoo. I will add a link over to your right with those as I make them! Enjoy :)

HAPPY Valentines Day!
