Murphy has taken a liking to sticks. Any kind: little ones, big ones, ones attached to the ground, and even ones attached to the trees. One of his favorites are the vines that poke out of the ground. Not only does he get the thrill of playing tug-a-wry, but once he has wrestled his prize from the dirt he can throw it and run after the stick.
I have been using Murphy's love of sticks to my benefit by getting his energy out. I will let him find a stick, or find my own, throw it and let him chase after it. Then he will either chase me around with the stick or try to taunt me to chase him. (Too bad for him that he only has a 6 ft. leash lead on me.)
It is good how excited he gets about this sticks. He definitely likes to puppy guard them and make sure you don't get too close so you can steal them.
