Amazing mazes

We all know that mice can be taught to run mazes—so why not your dog? Watching a dog work out how to reach the goal is a fascinating experience and will teach you as much about how your dog learns as it will stretch your dog’s mind.

The construction of your maze will depend on a number of factors: the size of your dog, whether you are setting up the maze indoors or out, and how experienced your dog is at problem solving.

Starting indoors with a fairly simple maze is a sensible strategy as you need to be able to keep your dog relatively calm to begin with. Outdoors, he may be tempted to get over-excited and try to jump the maze walls rather than think his way round the problem.

Mazes can be created from any number of materials: mesh panels (available from garden centers and DIY stores) are perfect because you can tie them together and your dog can see the booty that he is aiming for. However, you can easily make mazes using lengths of cardboard or by placing your furniture strategically to create maze shapes. For example, two dining room chairs laid on their sides provide lots of possibilities—three and you can have infinite maze creations.
