Father's Day Part 2

A full-on play session rooted in laughter, bonding, and goofball legacy-building. Think “field day meets dad energy meets dog chaos.”

Challenges!

Challenge 1: Sock Toss Showdown

Roll up socks and try to land them in a laundry basket while your dog watches.

  • +2 points if they stay still or “supervise” like a true dad
  • +3 points if they fetch a sock
  • +5 points if they interfere and ruin your shot in a hilarious way

Challenge 2: Tool Time Trot

Set up a mini obstacle course using household items: broomstick to hop over, cushion to go around, etc.

  • +1 point for every obstacle your dog clears or participates in
  • +3 points for finishing the whole course
  • +5 points if they improvise their own path (because dad would approve of problem solving)

Challenge 3: The Freeze Frame

Play some upbeat music (or just sing a cheesy dad rock song). When the music stops, you both have to freeze.

  • +2 points if your dog stops and stays
  • +3 points for holding still for 5+ seconds
  • +5 points for dramatic “pose” (sit, bow, stretch)

Challenge 4: Dad Trick Draft

Ask your dog to perform 2–3 basic tricks — sit, shake, down, spin, etc.

  • +1 point for every successful command
  • +3 points if they invent a new move
  • +5 points if they give you side-eye first
