toys to work for food?

TegansMyBoy

Hello!

I'd like to get a toy for my dane to have to work to get her food everyday... she is very bossy when it comes to food time and I think she is a good candidate for working for food rather than me just giving it to her. We already do the little obedience thing for NILIF... but I was thinking we should also get her a toy where she really has to work to get her food, you know?

Anyways.. any good toys y'all know?

Thanks!!

OH! and we already have a kong, and a tug-a-jug.. she doesn't get the tug a jug and the kong is too small but is working for now...

buster cube?

I like the tug a jug...maybe teach her how to use it? Do you ever clicker train?

TegansMyBoy

No, I haven't done any clicker training with her but the trainer I am taking her to I believe does that. She gets the tug a jug if i take the rope part out of it... she's just rolling it around... haha

I'll look into this other toy you mentioned though..

These are toys we have that both of our dogs love:

I actually just use a kong.
I stuff Rinzzo's kong with his food and he will roll it around and chew on it and stuff to get the food to come out and then he will ea the food and continue on until its empty and then ill refill it until he isn't hungry anymore

works for me.

She's starting to understand the tug a jug little by little... I want to look into that cube one though, looks good! thanks guys

that is funny!

i don't have a buster cube, but i've seen that toy that L2B posted on amazon.com... i think i want one now... you can get some pretty good deals on stuff from amazon, and if you try to, you can get the shipping for free...

Found it!!!!! haha I just bought it. I have spent, like, $50+ thanks to y'all... geesh!! hahaha I think my dane will LOVE this toy though because she pushes things with her head all the time... lol. She likes the tug a jug but only if it doesnt have a rope in it, and she chews on the wrong end which makes a terrible noise so I think we're going to give that one to tegan.

Oh! and tegan is using the kong to eat now... i'm so proud... he gets it! lol
