Dog Behaviour, Easy and Cheap Dog Entertainment Idea’s

*Put some small dog biscuits into a used plastic food or drink bottle with the lid off (such as a juice bottle). It usually takes dogs a while to roll the biscuits out.

*Scatter feed part or all of your dogs meal. Remember to do this away from where they usually go to the toilet.

*Give your dog the ‘empty to you’ plastic Vegemite or Marmite jar to lick out.

*Milk bottle dispenser -
Cut a small hole in the corner of a plastic milk bottle and put small dog biscuits inside. Hang the bottle at nose height*, your dog will have to nose it to get the food to drop out.
Do not put higher, as we don’t want to encourage jumping - especially for puppies.

*Remember to roughly take off the quantity of treats/biscuits, off the quantity your dog would normally eat - as he or she may end up a tad overweight otherwise ;-)

Other than that, I hope these idea’s bring about tail wags :-)
