When I'm trying to take a picture of a hummingbird, Rilli and Ruuti are playing indoors finders & keepers (find a treat from an empty cardboard box, inside the "ingenious cube" or anywhere in the house).
Activation of your dog is very beneficial: it gives a positive way (for a dog) to release extra energy, it's fun to look at, and of course, it gives you a moment of piece.
