Muffin Tin Engagement
Muffin tins are something that you may have laying around your house, and maybe you don't even use them very often!
Did you know that you can use muffin tins as a way to engage your dog's mind?
You can put treats in each cup of the muffin tin and cover them with tennis balls. Your dog will then have to use their nose to figure out how to get the treat!
This is a great activity for dogs who are food motivated, and it is also a good way to work on their problem solving skills.
Cardboard Box Fun
Cardboard boxes are another item that you may have around your house, and they can provide hours of fun for your dog!
You can cut holes in the sides of the box and make a "tunnel" for your dog to find the toys through. You can also put toys or treats inside newspaper or other boxes for your dog to find.
This is a great activity for dogs who love to play and explore and may get bored quickly with nothing to do. It is also a good way to work on their problem solving skills.
Snuffle Mats
A snuffle mat is a mat that is designed to look like grass. It is made of fabric and has different compartments that you can put treats in.
Your dog will then have to use their nose to find the treats! This is a great activity for dogs who are food motivated, and it is also a good way to work on their problem solving skills. Snuffle mats help engage dogs who are bored and keep their brains busy and active.
Puzzle Feeders
Puzzle feeders are another great way to engage your dog's mind. Puzzle feeders are designed to make your dog think about how they can get the food out of the toy.
This is a great activity for dogs who are food motivated, and it is also a good way to work on their problem solving skills.
