To break up their day to day with something different and fun.

All you need is your dog, their box of toys and some non-crumbly treats they love.

Time for a bit of fun…

1. Throw some tasty treats into your dog’s toybox
   
   
2. Wait for them to focus on you
   
   
3. Say ‘Go’ and let your dog rush to their toybox…
   
   
4. Enjoy watching them go snuffling crazy!

Tips

• Definitely avoid crumbly treats – the mess – the ongoing, never-ending mess – argggh.

• Add ‘Ready, Steadyyyyy… Go!’ to get them really excited.

• If you use dry food this is a great way for your dog to work for their dinner.
