Chariots of the Dogs

Having already covered dog frisbee in a previous entry, I thought I might touch on another form of play this morning, ball throwing. For some dog owners it's an option, for others a preference. If your dog is hyperactive, chances are you need to take it our for some playful exercise. Depending on how restless it is, you may need to have it tow you to the park on a bicycle or a derailed train. Just remember to follow the dog's path with your steering and watch out for any last-minute changes of direction. If you didn't bring your tennis ball with you, just look for one on the ground somewhere. It might be a little chewed up from passing through the mower, but that will just give the dog a head start. Hold the ball over the dog's head until he's stood on his hind legs for ten seconds, then hurl it with all your might, taking care not to aim in the direction of any elderly citizens with heart problems. Repeat until dog is huffing and puffing on the run back and still wants more. One way to save some wear and tear on your shoulder is to throw the ball into a lake and let the dog swim after it. It slows them down while making them work harder. Or you could invest in some sort of launching apparatus to ease your throwing. If done properly, your dog should heel normally for the duration of your walk home. You may permit it to carry the ball in its mouth if you don't want a handful of slime.
