#IDEA 64. Place a few empty plastic bottles or balls inside a laundry basket along with some treats. Let your dog dig through the basket to find the treats, pushing the bottles or balls around.

#IDEA 67. Search your home for a handful of plastic capsules, plastic easter eggs or tennis balls where you can hide a couple of your dog's favourite treats. You can either hide them around your home (while your dog is in another room) for your dog to search, or bring them with you on a walk and toss along the capsules as you go, for some extra snuffling.

#IDEA 70. While your dog is in a different area of your home, hide treats underneath sofa cushions or between cushions and the sofa, and other furniture. Your dog will need to use their nose and paws to find the treats after you cue them to go “find it!”.

#IDEA 65. Create a very simple piñata by filling a paper bag or a small box with treats. Hang it up and let your dog try to get the treats out by pawing or nudging it.

#IDEA 68. On a coffee table or a tabletop tall enough for your dog to see but not access, line up a number of party cups and hide a treat or two. Reward your dog for sitting by the one they think has the treat, before revealing it.

#IDEA 71. Place a small treat-dispensing toy on a table or shelf that’s slightly elevated. Your dog will have to figure out how to reach and manipulate the toy to get the treats. The difficulty and intensity of this game will be based on the small distance by which you make it harder for your dog to reach. You can place objects nearby for your dog to have to step on.

#IDEA 66. Fill a small kiddie pool or a large container with plastic balls and hide treats among them. Your dog will have to dig through the balls to find the hidden treats.

#IDEA 69. Go through your clean recycling items, grab a cardboard box that's big enough and toss inside it what you found that's safe and in good enough condition for your dog to snuffle and scavenge through, to find their treats. Mix in your dog's toys and towels too, for some extra fun!

#IDEA 72. While your dog is not in the room, hide their favourite toy inside a blanket, place it in a random box/container or a random spot in your home, before encouraging your dog to find it and reward them with treats when they succeed. Use a cue like “Where is your squeaky toy” each time to create the association to this game.
