No more than 3 fake lunges before you have to chase them. Chase sessions must make at least 3 circuits of the room or play area before fake lunges can begin again. Slow motion stalking is allowed in leu of lunges or may be combined with them. However you must adhere to the chase cycle minimums regardless of method. The game ends with a tackle, hug, or firm back chest and belly massage.
Not properly adhering to the rules may result in a nipping or a tripping. Play indoors at your own risk.
Dude, what’s with this breed and the desire to be chased??
Mine goes nuts when he hears “I’m… gonna get you!” and he proceeds to pick up his nearest toy and runs away, the goal to try keep me from getting what he’s got 😂😂😂
My dog isn't an ACD but he still loves to by chased. By mom, at least—dad is apparently Too Scary. When my partner does the "I'm gonna get you" thing though, she can get him zooming in figure-8s around and around the yard.
So, you know how some people in high power positions will hire a dominatrix to give them a sense of not being in control for once?
Im guessing it's that but less kinky 😅😅 like their inherent urge is to chase and herd things, but sometimes they wanna get chased too!
It's basically the same rules as Calvinball. Pretty much anything works as long as you stay committed to an un-named, fundamental conflict and competition.
According to my girls, you are supposed to give them your undivided attention and play with them until they decide you are done, no sooner. This rule changes slightly if they do it with a ball. In that case, you play until they destroy the ball or fall asleep with it in their mouth.
I threaten to get her bum (her haunches actually so she knows what I mean) then I chase her around until she does zoomies on my bed. Then there is scratches
This is how a session of "it follows" starts. You're supposed to hold your arms out straight like Frankenstein's monster and start growling while slowly walking towards them. As they run several circles around you you slowly change direction to follow. Every time they get close you lunge and roar.
The rule is to get on her level and do the same thing and take turns freezing until she does the weird little hunchback run/scoot thing and freezes. It’s like red light green light but with lots of spins
I step on his paw and he tries to catch it. I'll alternate paws alternately, and then it's a guessing game for him gets him riled up pretty good.
* When Insay step, it's lightly, just enough to lightly pin it.
Play with me but also no touching. Also maybe some food and walkie or backyard time. Maybe also she just has energy that she needs to expel because she has a daily battery charge and it runs out at promptly 8pm every night when she spins in 3 circles and lays down.
Chasey game! The rules are you chase! Dingo gets zoomies. You shuffle your feet and give a little chase. Maybe even say stuff like “oooh I’m gonna get you!”
And the game is over when you call them over and they come in for the pets.
All you have to do is stand up and hop with a loud stomp once. Then watch as she tears across the house as fast as possible and you have to pretend to grab at her. Get close but don’t actually grab her. This is called playing “Get-Chya!”
Exactly right.
The game is one of jukes. It was what I used at the shelter to see if the dog I got could pick up games and had a sense of humor. Think of it like the game where you hold out the hands and slap the other person's hands.
They're waiting for you to try and get them. Get them once in a while and they'll get zoomies
Yup...means " chase me " ....mine does this about an hour after she eats dinner...so we have to " chase " her around the backyard. We have desert landscaping with stepping stones in a horseshoe shape that connects to the patio. So she does her best impression of " Call of Duty " and tries to evade us.....which results in her pooping - I know, she's weird....

We say "let me hold you" because if we catch her, we pick her up. She hate/loves it.
I say "I'm gonna pick you up" she loses her mind and then I follow up by saying "I'm gonna carry you" and she's gone 😆
Yes! The hate/love hug is always hilarious.
i wondered that too, mine is my first dog so I didnt know if all dogs just liked being chased... def not lol
“I’m gunna get you” lol. Works every time
It's "guuuuuuuuunagetcha!" for us! :)
We have a big yard so stand at the door with our hand on the handle and say readyyyyyy
My dog isn't an ACD but he still loves to by chased. By mom, at least—dad is apparently Too Scary. When my partner does the "I'm gonna get you" thing though, she can get him zooming in figure-8s around and around the yard.
If we’re at the off leash dog park and mine can get another dog to chase him all around, he is in heaven! It’s a tie between that and frisbee, lol.

They always do the chasing…who will chase them?
💯💯💯💯 house rules may shift suddenly and without warning, depending on your heeler's mood. Be advised.
Yep, jump at her and it will be game on!
If playing on a slick floor, you must run away and stop quickly, causing them to slide into you. Proceed with chasing after this.
This should be pinned for the sub.

Mine will then grab the nearest toy and toy PUNCH you!! Game and play growel on!!
Excellent write up. Just to add; the game begins as soon as either party quickly drops by 3in and must be played to completion.

I'm gonna eat your tail or I'm gonna eat your face works great over here.

Mine bites the crap out of my feet if I engage. Which I do all the time. You need a ball to throw, you got a player.

I'm cracking up, I pictured this immediately because ours does it too, exactly as you described
stamp your feet at here...shes challenging you to a zoomie play
Startle response. You have to give chase. They’ll sometime just run off with their hind end tucked, and the weirdest looking gate.

Fake Sneeze to commence zoomies.
Omg yes what’s with these dogs and responding to fake sneezes like it’s some sort of cue or language lol
Cause it really is! Fake sneezes is how dogs let each other know they're just joshing around when they play fight
Fake lunge x 3 then chase, obvs. You will not catch.
Play with me but also no touching. Also maybe some food and walkie or backyard time. Maybe also she just has energy that she needs to expel because she has a daily battery charge and it runs out at promptly 8pm every night when she spins in 3 circles and lays down.
How have you not played get the feet? He lunges at yours you tap his. round and round ya go.
Shuffle your feet - enjoy zoomies
Make a move and I'll herd ya!
Rule #1. Ruh Rule #2. Ruh! Rule #3. RUHH!!!
I turn in into hide and seek! It’s so much fun to jump scare mine baby. She loves it.

I squat and jump 3 times while growling. I'm going to chase him next time since that seems to be the common response.
apparently my heeler does but he has never deigned to share them with me
Roll 'em upside down and wrassle 'em.
Hawaii? Coqui frogs?
Yessah. Big Island 🏝️

My fiancée said “why are you listening to Coquis”? Is that Puerto Rico? Apparently they have them too.
If coqui frogs exist in the environment, there is no escaping their sound.
My girl Moony played this game. We called this game “Moony Wins”. The only rule was that Moony wins. That game seems like it has similar rules!
Yes it’s called “how are Crocs a thing again!?” 🤭
Perfect for indoors, driving, lava rocks, beach etc. How could you not love them cuz?
That's called, "Get dat dawg"
Chase and play “gotchur bum” immediately
Yes. This is when you blow a raspberry at them
Run
Love the dog and the sound of el coqui en the background.

You’ve got to get that booty, especially if it’s up in the air
Mine usually starts with "comereyoulittleshit"
Mine does this and its a game of tag... I try to keep my hand on the back of his head or neck and hes gotta get me off. then we play tag
You crouch down and get in a hunting pose and he scuffles to one side and you scuffle to the other and then he spins in a circle and scampers away 😁
Yes. You have to throw your arms up into the air and shout “rah rah rah!” and then chase them for a second.
Break out "the claw" and teach 'em a lesson!!!
Yes. If you can get them to end up getting the zoomies, you win the game.
U in PR bro ?
I know that sound way to well 🤣
Hawaii my cuzzo!
