She’ll hunt out those treats wherever I hide them — under rugs, on furniture, or on the window sill behind a curtain.
To use a food dispensing toy you simply fill it up with treats and encourage your dog to engage with it.
As your dog starts moving the toy around it’ll start dispensing treats.
Another fun brain game for dogs is using food dispensing toys.
A food dispensing toy is any toy that contains food and requires your dog to work to figure out how to obtain the food.
Find the treats is easy to play, and it’s a fun way for dogs to use some of their natural sniffing and scavenging abilities.
How to play find the treats with your dog: Keep in mind that although dog’s have an excellent sense of smell that doesn’t mean they’ll automatically use it right away when playing this game.If they’re not used to sniffing things out it’ll take a little practice.That’s why gradually increasing the difficulty of where you hide the treats is important.Mentally stimulating activities such as brain games enrich our dogs lives by giving them something meaningful to do.And because these activities alleviate boredom they can decrease the likelihood of our dogs developing behavioral issues such as excessive chewing or barking.One of my favorite brain games for dogs is “find the treats.” It’s easy to play, and it’s mentally stimulating.It gives your dog the opportunity to use some of their natural instincts to work for food.How to play the which hand game with your dog: If your dog doesn’t catch on right away don’t worry.Some dogs get super pumped up by treats and will start pawing at both of your hands due to excitement.After your dog has a good concept of what “find the treats” means you can keep upping the game to make it more of a challenge for them.Since Laika’s been playing this game for years she’s gotten pretty good at it.
