I’m not sure how this came about but Laika had an epiphany this month. It said that chasing bubbles is the absolute best thing in the world. ever considering that that day it’s all she wants to do. rather than nudging me towards the door for a walk, or the toy box for a game of indoor fetch it’s all about bubbles.
I hold out a bottle of bubbles in one hand and our favorite tug toy in the other – she goes for the bubbles every time.
I’m not sure when her obsession came about, it’s been quite gradual. and it’s a complete mystery to me how this doesn’t affect her arthritis at all. but I’m opting for it. My pet dog loves chasing bubbles, so bubbles she will get.
Play is such an crucial part of our daily routine, and having something basic like chasing bubbles to add into the mix is a blessing.
Repeated play appears to be a major aspect in enhancing the relationship between pet dog and owner, and given that this link seems to be absent in wolves, may have been selected for during domestication. – science Direct: Why Do adult Dogs Play
It’s been a long time considering that I found an activity that Laika can take pleasure in so much without causing pain later.
Chasing Bubbles is one of My Dog’s favorite Games
I remember how depressing it was trying to figure out what we could do with her arthritis. really long walks make her limp, outdoor games of fetch make her limp, and worst of all her beloved frisbee made her limp – so it had to be retired.
We couldn’t walk by our big basket of frisbees for months without her stopping & whining, it made me feel terrible. My pet dog loved catching frisbees, so frisbees is what she got.
So what do you do when you have to take away your dogs favorite activity? You can’t just tell them “trust me on this – it might be fun now, but you’ll be feeling it later.” Well you could tell your pet dog that, but I’m pretty sure they’ll keep asking for it anyway.
Having a 3 year old pet dog that can no longer jump or run (much) is depressing, especially considering that her brain is always ready to go go go.
So what did I do? I taught her how to chase bubbles. She has that playful enthusiasm back, the one that leaves her panting and grinning from ear to ear. Here’s the before & after of just 3 minutes of chasing bubbles. (I tried to get some action shots but trying to manage a cam & keeping the bubbles flowing didn’t work out so well.)
Chasing bubbles is great exercise, and it doesn’t affect Laika’s arthritis.
How to show Your pet dog to Chase Bubbles
If your pet dog doesn’t know how to chase bubbles start by blowing a couple at a time. If they’re not interested in them try pointing to them. If that doesn’t work get a friend to play ‘bubble in the middle’ with you. once your pet dog sees that the bubbles are indicated to be chased they must catch on.
How to show your pet dog to chase bubbles:
Start by blowing one or two bubbles at a time
If your pet dog doesn’t show interest in the bubbles try pointing to them
Encourage your pet dog to “catch” the bubbles while they’re floating around
If your pet dog still isn’t interested catch the bubbles yourself
So try it for yourself, see if you can show your pet dog to love chasing bubbles. It can be done indoors (if you step the coffee table) or out, day or night. It’s one of the easiest ways to tire out your dog.
Once you have a bottle & wand you can make your own supply with some dish detergent & water. Some people add corn syrup to make the bubbles last longer, but I haven’t had any problems with the soap & water mixture.
Homemade bubble recipes are safe for your dog, just be careful that they don’t get into the mixture itself. and after playing be sure to wipe off their face with a damp towel. Bubble mixtures can irritate their eyes.
So if you’re trying to find an easy way to play with your pet dog get yourself some bubbles. You just might luck out and have a pet dog that thinks you’re nothing short of a wizard. Not only the funnest person in the whole world, but the designer of all those magical flying bubbles.
