How to Get Your Dog Completely Exhausted

Step 1: Find a Welsh Corgi or two. Preferably the Pembroke type. Mmm… feisty little herding dogs! My friend Liz has two of them, Rocco and Maggie. Rocco tends to freak Zora out a little so he didn’t get to play this time. Here’s Zora and Maggie.

Step 2: Release Corgis and your dog into a huge backyard.

Step 3: Let dogs herd and taunt each other for hours. They may check in now and then to say hi to “mom” or get some water, but that’s okay. They’ll be fighting over a pine cone in no time.

Step 4: Enjoy your tired dog! The effect lasts for HOURS. Here Zora is, eating lying down at about 9pm. Sorry for the weird light in the video… I don’t know what my camera was thinking!

Step 5: Schedule another play date with the Corgis.
