My puppy is 10 months old and LOVES playing tug of war with a tossing rope ball. I injured both my shoulders playing tug of war with him this summer and I have got to rest my arms! What other games can I play with him? He's a 32 pound mixed breed (Aussie Cattle X Beagle X terrier, very strong and is now very bored. Sincere advice welcome.
Spelling and grammar count. Abusive, smart alec, and off topic answers will be reported.

Introduce him to my best friend-a soccer ball.
He'll love chasing it and if he can't bring it back that's o.k..Either go to the ball and kick it again or while his back is turned go hide from him and make him find you.

rehoming lost & injured puppies is a really generous & good thing. but if you do it JUST because you wanna become the guy you wanted yourself to be, it wont be worth it.' it must come from the bottom of your heart. and why the heck do you wanna b a kind, modern, and sensitive man? you can do that by changing your bad habits. being a modern man doesnt require you to wear tight shirts and drive a Benz. just be urself. but if u really wanna change in a whole new better direction, im supporting you in this. remember, it all must come straight from your heart.

Maybe you can convince him there are pass-times just as fun as tug-of-war. How about a laser pointer? My dogs don't care for them, but I heard a lot of dogs go crazy just like cats chasing the red dot! This way you can just sit there and watch him climb the walls.

Okay, I may sound totally wacko but try tugging with your feet with the rope. Grab it in between your toes or in both your feet and let him win a bit. Best of luck to you and your puppy-wuppy, hope this works for you!

I read somewhere that dogs with long narrow snouts, like chasing - hence the greyhounds. Dogs with short snouts like jumping. Design games that they are predisposed to doing e.g. jumping over sticks, fetching things, catching tennis balls in the air. Animals are like us. We favour what we do well in.

Teach him to play hide and seek. Show him the toy to find and then hide it. Tell him to "Go Find the bone". It a good way to occupy him and to learn to use his senses.
