Sundays Suggestion: DIY Puzzle Feeders! One of the cool things that I learned as an Enrichment Coordinator at the Audubon Zoo was that anyone can make a puzzle feeder out of almost anything, AND in the process you get to recycle in a super fun way! Every night we give our dog, Hocus Pocus, some sort of enrichment challenge to do. Below is a video demonstrating a very easy one for her, but the point is to not just give a dog a bone. Make them work for it! Be as creative as you want to be! This kind of enrichment provides mental stimulation for your dog, and they learn that being alone is a Very Good Thing. Bonus: It gives you time to do whatever you need to get done while they are having fun!
