Puzzle activities are a great way to stimulate your dog's mind and challenge their problem-solving skills. This type of game usually involves hiding treats or toys within a puzzle for your dog to uncover.

Here are a few examples to get started:

Flip boards: This game requires your dog to flip over boards to reveal hidden treats.

Ball puzzle: A ball puzzle is a toy that dispenses treats when your dog figures out how to roll the ball in just the right way.

Snuffle mat: A snuffle mat is a mat filled with fabric strips or fleece that your dog has to snuffle through to find hidden treats.

Interactive food puzzles: These puzzles require your dog to manipulate pieces or parts of the puzzle to reveal hidden treats or food.

These are just a few examples of the many dog puzzle activities available on the market. The key is to find a game that is appropriate for your dog's skill level and interests, and to provide plenty of positive reinforcement as they learn and play. Give it a try and see how your dog likes it!

Sound familiar? Shell game is a popular game among humans - and dogs too! 🐚 Teaching this to your dog can be tricky but starting off simple can go a long way. This game trains your dog to use visual tracking and requires active thinking.

To begin:

1. Allow your dog to watch as you place a treat under one of 3 cups.

2. Then, signal for them to take the treat from under the cup.

3. After a few rounds, change where you place the treat. If your dog selects the right cup, give them the treat. If not, show them the correct location of the treat and have them try again. This will let them know that they must pick the cup that has the treat under it.

4. If your dog has gotten the hang of this, up the difficulty by placing a treat under the cup and switching the cups around. This will trigger a visual response within your dog as they have to track where the treat is going.

This is a game that requires patience, and don’t forget to cheer your dog on along the way!
