Kong: Busy work for dogs! Perfect for in their crate, or when you need your dog to settle such as when visitors come over.
Kong Wobbler: Slow feeder and nose work combined. The Kong Wobbler is a quick and easy way to deliver your dog’s daily kibble in a mentally stimulating (aka tiring) way.
Snuffle Mat:
Slow feeder and nose work combined. Focusing on our dog’s primary sense- their sense of smell, snuffle mats are a wonderful way to bring mentally stimulating nose work into your dog’s daily meals.
Licky Mat:
Boredom and Anxiety Reducer.
Food Puzzles:
Fun bonding games to do with your dog to keep them mentally happy while strengthening their cognitive skills. And as your dog progresses you can move up to higher levels of difficulty.
