Re: mentality games
PUt Ramzi in a down stay or sit stay and go hide a treat in another room and make him find it. That is one that you have to build up to making it harder and harder to find. Will work for a while even after you are done.

Re: mentality games
If he is off lead, do the same as above but with a toy in woods, where he can't exactly see where it has gone

Re: mentality games
Also playing hide and seek with you is fun. Make them stay, hide and call them and see how fast they can find you. They are so pleased with themselves when they do.

Re: mentality games
i have to watch him carefully with them. he has this one disk like thing that when he flips it about it throws out treats. its taken quiet a knocking poor thing. when i first got it he was only 8 weeks and was horrified of it... now if he see's it he starts to shake he's so excited. He got too good at it, so to challange him i stuck paper in some of the holes.
another thing i did was got an empty 2lt soft drink bottle. put some holes in it and the put some food in there before screwing the cap on. the noise is a little loud, but he has a blast, and its cheap too!

We use both of these and they work very well
