Mentally stimulating toys are helpful for your dogs (and you!) in so many ways.
- When they get antsy for your telework day to wrap up. Remember to occupy them before the antsy behaviors get underway.
- When they need time and space to settle down after guests have arrived.
- When they need a distraction until they are content to take a nap following your departure.
- When they have a little extra energy that needs an outlet, and you can't get them outside for a walk or game of fetch.
- When boredom hits!
Kong
Stuff with a variety of food items. Smears are ideal. Freeze the stuffed Kong to keep your dog occupied for longer. They come in multiple sizes and in multiple rubber strengths to accomodate different chewing capabilities.
Lick Mat
Similar to the Kong, you'll want to put smears on the lick mat, then freeze. This activity can reduce anxiety as well as keep your dog interested.
