Dogs Playing in Leaves

Ah, the beauty of fall. If you live in a northern city you know all about the leaves turning and that favorite children’s’ game of jumping into a pile of leaves.

Well, this game is not just for children anymore - dogs get a kick out of it too. For safety sake, it is best if you do this activity in your backyard. When there are enough leaves on the ground, rake them into a big pile and then jump into the pile with your dog.

Better yet, hide treats under the pile and watch your dog pounce and dig for their delicious rewards. Or bury your dog under the leaves and when he finds his way out, bury him again.
