Tricky Treat Ball

Puppies tend to be underfoot all the time. It's what they do. And when they're bored, they get in trouble. When they've spent a good bit of time in a crate while their humans are away, it's even worse. Out of the crate, outside for a potty break, back inside to run and play with their people. But wait. Their people have had a long hard afternoon at work and really need to put their feet up or start dinner or sort the mail. At this particular moment, playing with puppy is not on the top of the to-do list. One solution is to provide puppy with something to occupy him.  Something that will be interesting enough to keep him busy, at least for a little. Something that does not require a human to be attached to it.

There are a variety of toys that hold treats or dry dog food. Try different kinds. Find your puppy's favorite.
