[NAGDU] Food puzzles

[Caitlyn Furness]

Maggie has several dog puzzles.

the ones I like are by a company called ky gin.  You can find them on Amazon for decent prices, but most are under $20.

The ones we have are pretty hard, but Maggie loves them and has figured them out with her razor sharp Dobie mind.

One looks like a jigsaw puzzle. The dog has to slide the peices around to get treats you drop into plastic cups/holes.  the second one is a triangle, and the dog first has to rotate the legs out of the way, then flip up a flap to get the treats.

In general, I don’t use food too much for rewards, so Maggie only gets these puzzles every so often.

Cait and Maggie
