Five fun possibilities

1.  Puppy Pacifier
Stuff a food dispensing toy for your dog or puppy before putting them to bed at night. This will reduce howling and barking in dogs who object to be confined and will build a positive association with their crate, room or pen.
2. Will Work For Food
Feed your dog part of or all of his meals from a food dispensing toy. Having to work to eat provides great mental exercise and provides an outlet for chewing.
3.  Pupsicle
Freeze a food dispensing toy containing chicken or beef broth for a great “pupsicle”. This is best enjoyed outdoors since it can get messy!
4.  A Welcome Distraction
Keep a stuffed food dispensing toy frozen and offer it to your dog when company comes over or for anytime when you need to keep your dog busy.
5. The Great Toy Hunt
Stuff one or more food dispensing toys and hide them before you leave the house (no letting your dog peek!). This will provide your dog with something fun to do while you are away and can help keep him out of trouble.
