Description

I love puzzle feeders as a way to "ditch the bowl" and make mealtime an event.  If you search "puzzle feeder" or "slow feeders" online countless options come up.  I have my favorite store bought feeders (see my Supplies page) but there's also many ways to DIY it!In fact, I have three that you can make with stuff you were going to throw out anyway.  Young puppies as well as older dogs can benefit from using these feeders to enrich their meal time.  As always, safety first!  Not every enrichment activity is appropriate for every dog.  Use your discretion and always supervise!In this episode I talk about:* What puzzle feeders are.* Why I recommend puzzle feeders. * Three DIY feeders you can make with stuff around your house.* Adjustments for young puppies. * As always, safety first.Press play and enjoy!Other resources mentioned and related to this episode:YNP #018: Ditch the Bowl and Make Mealtime an EventDebbie's Recommended Supplies (including my favorite store bought treat balls and feeders)Playtime Paws Academy:  A membership for dog and humans no matter where you are in your training journey.
