Working Their Brain (Mental Exercise)
What do you do with your pups for mental exercise?
Since Rocky is physically able to do less, I've really started making him work for his meals. Some stretches but mostly mental exercise. I'm always looking for more ideas :)
- part of his breakfast is in his daily kong
- "burrito" (use a dish cloth layed out, scatter kibble all over, then roll it up and give it to him)
- Muffin Tin Game (put kibble in the muffin tin and cover with balls)
- various food toys (some Nina Ottoson, some from Outward Hound I think it is, and some from Petsmart).
The funny part if I used to joke he wasn't very good at any of this but with a wee bit of patience (on my part) to let him work it out he actually is pretty good!
