I’ve been asked for toy recommendations a lot, and due to lack of time, I haven’t really kept up with writeups or reviews – and some have been bought before this blog started so by this point the toys are not new. But to save writing the recommendations again and again, I’ve collected some allContinueContinue reading “Struggling to keep your dog busy? Look no further!”

It’s spring! And time for garden brain games to come out of storage – among them this brilliant toy, Beeztees Wigglex. It’s big-ish, so suits a medium/large dog, weighted at the bottom so it’s quite difficult to topple over enough for treats to fall out (despite the big holes at the top).

Basically, it’s a pile of double layered fleece squares with a hole in the middle, stacked up in a fleece rope.ContinueContinue reading “Toy test: snufflestack”

I often give the dogs a chewing or licking activity after an active walk that has raised their arousal levels, like a beach trip is guaranteed to do. Nell took 20min to finish her Kong Quest Star Pods and Grace 80mins her Kong Quest Foragers Flower because it contains more food and Grace is younger.ContinueContinue reading “Toy tip: frozen Kong Quests for lowering arousal levels”
