A rubber double cheeseburger. A soft, orange. fabric basketball. A bright green rubber bone. All squeaky toys. Set them up in a triangle in your largest room, and you’ve created the perfect environment to drive your dog crazy.
Start by visiting each toy once and stepping on it a few times. Then change your rotation, clockwise to counter clockwise. Continue stepping on these items to make loud, shrill, squeaking sounds.
Then get creative. Begin dragging one of these items under your foot, squeaking it with every step. Bring one item (under your foot), to the next item, and change to that new item (under your foot). Different toy, different sound. The dog goes more nuts.
Now get a bit more creative. As you are dragging (and squeaking) one toy, drag another one with your other foot. Dragging both of them and squeaking as you move forward.
If your dog isn’t biting at your ankles (and other parts of your body) by now, you may want to get him/her checked out.
