Description
A group of guide dog puppies were invited to an Easter egg hunt for dogs. Sight loss charity Guide Dogs organized a search for their current cohort of four puppies and two guide dog mothers, all from different families, who put their noses to the test. The staff hid toys and treats in an enclosed space for the pups to find and offered pet owners some tips on how to recreate the perfect doggy Easter activity at home.
The advice includes avoiding chocolate eggs, but dog-safe versions can be a "rewarding and exciting" activity.
Dog owners can also hide more toys or treats in different places to make it more difficult for their pet.
Hannah Wright, National Dog Training Manager for Guide Dogs, said: "An Easter egg hunt for dogs is not only a mentally stimulating and engaging activity, but also a great way for your dog to learn something new and build a relationship. stronger with you."
"At Guide Dogs, we have over 90 years of experience training dogs, and we know that training has to be fun to get the best results."
Among those who participated were Hollie, a one-year-old Labrador and golden retriever mix, Sunny, a nine-month-old Labrador and retriever mix, and Joshua, a three-month-old black Labrador.
They were accompanied by their volunteer puppy raisers, as well as two golden retriever guide dog moms, Poppy and Riley.
The training was created by guide dog experts and dog specialists to raise awareness for the Good Dog Association 12 month subscription program! providing dog owners with training tips, videos, and wellness tips.
