One more 'game.' I call it poor-man's agility.

Line up some obstacles in a line in the yard. A rake, a shovel, a log. Just 3-4 items. Leash your dog and give her some command that you like. I use 'jump'. Then lead her over the obstacles. Reward her with a treat at the end.

Eventually, you'd like to be able to do this as a sit-stay trick, where you can go to the other side of the line of obstacles and call her. But any way you do it is fun and good exercise.

Here's a pic of how we do it.
