1 Tip - on life with your dog
Foraging: Dogs love to work for their food; it's a natural behaviour. You see it when a dog vacuums the floor of food bits, steals food from the bench or pre-cleans your dishes in the dishwasher. By providing opportunities to forage, this innate need is filled. Here's how: Hide their food in small piles around the garden, side path or living room. Start simple and build the difficulty as your dog's foraging skills improve.
1 Idea - on the leading edge
Using a dog's food to provide mental stimulation is a simple way to improve well-being, resulting in calmer behaviour. Dogs who don't get any mental exercise are more likely to exhibit annoying or problematic behaviours.
