Are Your Dogs Smart?
Do you want to see how really smart your dog is and keep them entertained at the same time?
Toys can teach old dogs new tricks! They can also teach the pups as well. Some toys can test you dogs and show you just how smart they actually are. Let your pet show you.
I always want to make sure that the toys are both challenging and fun for my dogs! The puzzle toys that are available can be the best thing I have ever provided my dog. Of course, if you are testing and challenging your dogs’ intelligence you want to watch them. You don’t want your pet to get frustrated with a toy. That is not what they are made for. They are there to help develop skills. If your dog gets frustrated by a toy they may just want to chew on it and ruin the toy and its purpose. So supervision is advised. Once they get the rings off the bone or the balls out of the cube you want to be there to put them back so that they are constantly being challenged during your time together. But I do think my dogs, Marina, Baby and Miracle are the smartest dogs in the world.
Put the toy away once playtime is over to preserve the challenge of the game.
