While serious training is important for all dogs, playtime is just as important. Use these games to help teach your dog how to play.
Hide and Seek
Hide and seek isn't just for kids. Dogs can really enjoy this game. Pick up one of your dog's favorite toys or treats. Tell your dog to stay. When you are ready, call your dog to come to you. If possible, squeak(使吱吱叫) the toy or shake the treats. Reward your dog with praise and the toy/treat when she finds you.
Fetch
Many dogs have a natural ability to fetch. Other dogs can be taught how. Play indoors with a soft toy or outdoors in a fenced-in area with a ball or disc. For dogs that really love to run, try this game of fetch!
Find the Treat
Dogs have superior senses of smell, and most love to use their noses to find food. Let your dog use her brain and her nose to find hidden goodies. First, have your dog stay out of sight. Then, hide her favorite treats in different places around the room. If help is needed, you can lead her around or point to areas for her to explore.
Whatever the game, safety comes first! Remember to watch your dog for signs of exhaustion or overheating when you are playing. Stop if your dog seems tired or shows signs of anxiety. When other dogs or people are around, it may create a dangerous distraction(分神).
A. Then, go to find a good hiding place.

When I called up my mother in the countryside on the phone, she told me snakes came to her home now and then, and they seemed to have made their home there. I got the chance to distinguish by inventing something (mercy) to catch the snakes.
No products can help me catch snakes, so I set out (research) the habits of snakes to trap them. I decided on three approaches: firstly, removing their habitat; secondly, (attract) them into trap, and thirdly cooling them. I used the (freeze) bowl to make the snakes less active, then collected them. The next day I released them into the wild.
I have filled the form and filed my patent (apply) with the Patent Office.
When I was young, I read many kinds of books, including fairy tales. Most of the books described heroes who were handsome and heroines who were beautiful. So, I believed I had to be beautiful if I wanted to become a great person.
As I grew up, I began to realize outer beauty was not so important to make someone good. I remember a friend of mine, Janie, who was so beautiful that every classmate wanted to talk with her, but she was very arrogant(傲慢的).
She believed that she could do everything she wanted because she was so beautiful, but she lost friends one by one. My poor friend! But she learned a good lesson: inner beauty is more important than outer beauty. After she learned that, she changed her attitude and made friends again.
Whenever I see TV advertisements, I feel that these things make us believe beauty is very important—especially physical attractiveness. Although we say that inner beauty is more valuable, we often look to plastic surgery to make us more beautiful. There seems to be a boom(流行) in plastic surgery. It is surprising to realize the number of people who try it is increasing day by day.
We know good-looking guys usually get higher scores on job interviews. So, what is real beauty? I want to say that inner beauty is the real one because if someone has beauty in his soul, he looks like a really beautiful person.
The beauty looked at with eyes doesn't last forever. Instead of concentrating on outer beauty, we should concentrate on inner beauty. The point is that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty. So, if we make the effort to make our minds beautiful, we'll be happier.
