#IDEA 46. Mash up multiple paper bags (on their own or together into a big blob) and place treats inside of them for your dog to snuffle through.

#IDEA 49. Hang a treat-filled container from a string and let your dog break it open like a piñata.

#IDEA 52. Take a brown paper bag and place inside it some of your dog's favourite treats (small pieces) and/or their kibble. Fold it as much as possible before giving it to your dog for him to snuffle or shred the bag to get to each piece!

#IDEA 47. Patience/impulse control-like training game: Purposely toss treats or your dog's favourite toy underneath furniture, where your dog won't be able to reach, and wait for them to learn (without any verbal cues or commands from you) that the way to get to what they want is to wait quietly, longer and longer each time.

#IDEA 50. Cut 2 holes on opposite sides of a tennis ball and stuff it with your dog's kibble, before passing a thing rope toy or braided cloth for your dog to have to pull. Tie additional knots for extra difficulty.

#IDEA 53. Find a clean, empty plastic water bottle and fill it a third of the way with kibble and a couple of treats. Secure the cap tightly, then wrap the bottle in an old sock to dampen the noise and make it more fun to chew and toss around. If your dog starts trying to chew it too much, turn it into a different game, where they either practice their recall by coming to you when called, and get other treats that way, or by learning that when they do shake it or toss it around, that you reward that instead of chewing it.

#IDEA 48. Use a 2-step ladder for your dog to have to step on and off of before you toss a treat for them to go find.

#IDEA 51. Grab a cardboard box or plastic bin and throw as many of your dog's toys and balls in there and throw in some snacks and their kibble!

#IDEA 54. Take an old t-shirt or towel and cut it into three long strips. Tie the strips together at one end with a knot, then braid the strips tightly and tie another knot at the other end. This creates a durable, homemade tug-of-war toy. You can also hide small treats within the braid to add an extra layer of challenge. If your dog starts to chew on the toy too much, encourage them to focus on pulling instead by rewarding them for engaging in a tugging motion rather than chewing.
