Tasty Treats

One of the best ways to treat your dog is by giving them some Doggy Cool Munchy Meat Treats. These tasty treats are made from 100% Chicken or Beef so not only do they taste great but you can feel good about giving your dog a healthy treat.

Doggy Cool Munchy Meat Treats are made fresh and can be found in the pet food fridge of your supermarket, right next to the 4Legs Home Cooked varieties.

King Kong

Kongs are made from a super bouncy, super strong rubber compound that makes them nearly indestructible and are come in a range of colours and sizes. Chewing on a Kong will not only keep your dog busy, but clean his teeth at the same time!

We suggest you simply stuff a Kong full of Doggy Cool Munchy Meat treats and give it to your dog before you go out. Your dog will spend hours munching away trying to get those tasty treats out!

Kongs are available from most vets or pet supply stores, for more information head to the Kong website: www.kongcompany.com

Check out this month's great competition for your chance to win your dog a Kong too!

Doggy Trick of the Month - Spin

This month Johnny and Hercules demonstrate how to Spin. This is a simple and fun trick to teach your dog. As usual, pick a nice quiet spot away from any noise or distractions and arm yourself with plenty of Doggy Cool Munchy Meat Treats. Begin with your dog standing or sitting in front of you. Get a treat and hold it out so your dog can see it, but don't give it to him. Use the treat to guide your dog around in a circle, saying "SPIN" as you do it. After he completes the rotation, reward and offer plenty of praise. Keep repeating the above steps. Then try it without the treat, getting your dog to follow your finger and the voice command. Eventually your dog will be able to perform this trick when he hears the command "SPIN" and sees your finger twirl. Once you've taught your dog the basic spin, you can teach them to do it in the opposite direction. Simply follow the steps above but do it all in the opposite direction and use the commands "SPIN LEFT" or "SPIN RIGHT". Remember, teaching your dog a new trick is always easier if you make it fun. So be patient, give plenty of praise and always reward! Are there any particular tricks you would like us to feature? Drop us a line at contact@4legs.com.au

Dogoscope

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

The Sagittarius dog loves to be busy and faces each day with fresh enthusiasm and a keen sense of adventure. A Sagittarius pooch can easily be taught new tricks and loves to entertain the whole family with their newly learned antics. Life with a Sagittarius dog is never dull, they dislike being stuck indoors and love nothing more than being out and about in the fresh air discovering a new park or path with their family.
