No More Bowl: Top 5 Best Dog Feeder Toys

It’s a fact that most modern day dogs have become lazy at meal times. While their ancestors spent their days engaging their brains by hunting and scavenging for their meals, nowadays all they have to do is lay down in the living room waiting for their dish to magically fill up with kibble!

What owners don’t realize is that by allowing their dogs to become lazy and by ignoring their need to search for food, their furry friends can quickly become bored and destructive leading to countless chewed up furniture and slippers!

Add a Special Twist to Your Dog’s Eating Habits!

If your dog is home alone for a good part of the day, it’s likely that the three biggest perks of his daily routine are seeing you come home, going for a walk and eating his meal. If you are feeding your dog from a food bowl, your dog is likely drooling in anticipation as you prepare his meal. Then, once the food bowl is put down, the meal is wolfed down in record time. Eating that food so fast can lead to choking and even health problems such as regurgitation, flatulence and, in a worst case scenario, life-threatening bloat! On top of that, what a waste! The food in the bowl could have been put to a more productive use to mentally stimulate your dog and give him a little more exercise.

Food Bowl Alternatives

Don’t put your dog’s food to waste by placing it in the food bowl and letting him gobble it down in seconds! There are several other options at your disposal. No, this doesn’t mean that you will have to unleash your dog and take him to the fields for a good old fashioned duck hunt, nor does it means you will have to let him go sniff a trail in search of bunnies. From the comfort of your home, you can give your dog the opportunity to work for his food as nature intended, giving him that mental stimulation he craves. Here are my top 5 recommendations for dog feeder toys.

KONG Wobbler

The KONG Wobbler is a nifty little invention, you simply unscrew it, fill it with tasty doggy treats and watch as your dog rolls it all around the floor! Because of the hole on the side, when it is rolled over treats are free to drop out. This is a great way to keep your dog active and reduces the risk of bloat by preventing your dog from eating his meal too quickly. Two birds with one stone! The Wobbler provides hours of entertainment and is pretty cheap too making it one of my most recommended toys!

Einstein Says: Make sure the treats you put into the toy are small enough to fit through the hole in the toy otherwise your dog won’t be able to get them out.

CLASSIC KONG

Like the Wobbler, the classic KONG is a toy which your dog has to tip and roll around to get the treats which are hidden inside. The classic design features two holes, a smaller one on the top end which smaller treats such as kibble can fit through, and a larger hole on the bottom which can accomodate larger treats. When using this toy stuff the bottom end with cookies and top it up with kibble. The cookies will be harder to get out due to their size but are much more rewarding!

Einstein Says: Us dogs love mixing it up! Why not give your dog the Wobbler one day and the classic KONG the next? That way you will keep variety in his life!

Paw Hide Puzzle

The Paw Hide puzzle is a cool little toy where you place treats under the cups. Your dog will smell the treats hiding under the cups and will have to lift them off to get at the food! Be warned, however, that some owners have reported problems with their dog not being able to lift out the cups, or the plastic cracking which can lead to sharp edges. For a safer alternative see “The Muffin Game” in the Brain Training For Dogs course.

Einstein Says: If you use this toy, why not get creative? Instead of filling every single hole with treats, why not put them under only some of the cups. You can even put different treats into each holder to give your dog a surprise!

Nina Ottosson Puzzle Games

Nina Ottosson is well regarded for producing good quality dog puzzles. All of the toys are well thought out and built, from sliding block puzzles where your dog has to shift blocks to uncover treats, to the “treat maze” game which is basically a harder version of the KONG toy we mentioned earlier.

Einstein Says: Woof! I love playing with the dog twister!

Feed Meal Portions During Training

Instead of giving your dog his food all in one go, why not save a small portion of his meal for training? Using dinner portions as training rewards helps to avoid feeding your dog too many calories during the day. To put it another way, can you imagine how quickly you’d gain weight if you had your three square meals every day PLUS a bunch of snacks every time you did something good?

Many of the games in this course mix meals and fun together. My personal favorite is the “Treasure Hunt” game, but there are plenty of games in the course which can act as great alternatives to the boring food bowl. The course will save you a lot of money by teaching you how to create your own KONG toy and Paw Hide Puzzle using only household items, as well as many other engaging games which combine meals with fun and exercise!

The Importance of Keeping Your Dog Mentally Stimulated

Raise your hand if your dog has ever pestered you, following you from room to room with a bored face? If so, rest assured, you are not alone! Boredom and pent-up energy are the most common reasons dogs develop behavioral problems. Most dogs living in urban settings spend a good chunk of their time alone, and the biggest perk of their day may be seeing their beloved owners coming home. This is a moment of great excitement and celebration and can often be too much to handle for a tired owner who has spent eight hours in the office.

Dogs Were Meant to Lead Active Lives

If we look at the many dog breeds that surround us, we will note that the majority were selectively bred to carry out certain tasks. We have the retrievers who retrieved downed birds for the hunter, the hounds who tracked prey with their powerful noses, the spaniels who flushed birds out of bushes, the herders who grouped cows and sheep, the livestock guardians who protected farm animals from predators and several other versatile breeds who specialized in a variety of tasks.

Today, most dogs are no longer used as workers but as loyal companions who are often relegated to the yard or left at home with not much to do all day. This leaves dogs with a void to fill up. The saying “an idle mind is the devil’s workshop” fits people and dogs as well. With little left to do all day, dogs become destructive and may engage in undesirable behaviors such as digging, chewing and barking.

Dogs Need Exercise and Mental Stimulation Too!

When we think of bored dogs, we often think of exercise, but dogs need a healthy dose of mental stimulation too. Despite the fact that most dogs in modern times no longer live in the wild and are no longer hunting all day in the fields with their masters, they still have a strong drive for mental stimulation. This, however, doesn’t mean that you will have to quit your 9 to 5 job, purchase a rifle and go on a rabbit hunting adventure with your dog! There many great ways you can enrich your dog’s life from the comfort of your home and yard to get your dog’s cognitive abilities going.

                      PLAYING THE HIDE AND SEEK GAME!     

Simple games such as Hide ‘n’ Seek (included in the Brain Training For Dogs course) will encourage your dog to engage his brain while also allowing him to get in the much needed exercise he wouldn’t have got had he spent the day snoozing in front of the fireplace.

A Glimpse Back in Time

When dogs were in the wild, mealtime was quite different than what it is today. In order to eat, dogs had to hunt, which entailed sniffing, stalking, chasing and killing. Then, once the animal was killed, they had to work on separating the meat from the bones which involved lots of gnawing and scraping. Even when dogs were domesticated and no longer hunters at heart they were still scavenging for food and their life wasn’t easy. They spent a good part of their days sniffing and walking around looking for little tid bits of food. Their diet mostly consisted of carcasses left over by other predators or food left behind by humans who discarded the less appetizing parts from the animals they hunted.

In any case dogs of the past, whether they were hunters or scavengers, all spent a good part of their day searching for food. This was surely a far cry from the way dogs are fed today! Nowadays, we do all the hunting for our dogs by visiting our local pet supply store. Our dog’s food comes in bags or cans which we then pour into shiny bowls ready to be gulped down, often times without even chewing! Certain brain games can help to re-introduce “hunting” into your dog’s life such as the “Treasure Hunt” game from my Brain Training for Dogs course. Brain Training for Dogs will also show you how to teach the Bottle Game, which is the simplest way to create a suppertime challenge for your dog.

What Can You Do About It?

Problem-solving exercises, new tricks, or simply revamping a training session with some element of novelty are all simple ways you can keep your dog mentally stimulated.

This Brain Training for Dogs course offers 21 cool brain games you can play with your pooch to exercise his brain while adding a competitive edge to keep both you and your dog on your toes (or paws should I say)! Each section has a guide to help you succeed, troubleshooting tips, and plenty of pictures so you can see exactly how to train the games.

When a dog’s needs for exercise and mental stimulation are met, dogs make happier and healthier companions, so next time you think about exercising your dog, don’t forget to exercise that brain too!

TURN YOUR DOG INTO A GENIUS!!!

             Do you find yourself trying hopelessly to get your dog’s attention? Does “in one ear and out the other” sound familiar? Or does your dog find it easy to listen to you until he sees the dreaded mail carrier? Whatever the case, it’s important that owners are able to capture and hold our dog’s attention. Just imagine the consequences if our dog ran onto a busy road and was not able to listen to us calling him back!

              This article will cover 5 simple tips you can apply immediately to help your dog become more attentive.

1. Brain Training

Brain training is a super effective way to increase your dog’s ability to pay attention to you!

Many of the games in this Brain Training for Dogs course are designed to improve your dog’s attentiveness. One of the favorites is “The Airplane Game,” which you can access for free. In this simple game your dog will learn the following important skills:

How to pay attention to you on command.

How to maintain focus on you despite distractions – unlocking the pathway to super obedience.

How to use his hidden intelligence to figure out puzzles.

The Airplane Game is just one of 21 brain-busting brain games found in this Brain Training for Dogs course.

                            Watch this example for better understanding:

2. The “Smacking Sound”

               Wouldn’t it be great if there was a noise we could make at any time to get our dog to immediately pay attention to us? Well, fortunately for us there is, and it’s called the “smacking sound”! But before we can harness its power, we need to teach our dog that this particular sound = food.

I make my smacking sound, then immediately give my dog a treat!

To do this, with your dog in a quiet room, make a smacking sound as though you were kissing the air, then immediately give him a treat. It doesn’t matter what he’s doing when you give him the treat (so long as he’s not doing anything bad like tearing up the sofa), the idea is simply to show him that whenever he hears the sound, he gets treats. After doing this for a while, you should notice that your dog looks at you for his treat whenever you make the sound. With continued practice, you can start using the smacking sound in everyday life when you want to grab your dog’s attention!

Keep in mind, however, that the smacking sound may be less effective at times when your dog is too worked up. For example, if he has seen something outside that he reacts strongly to, your sound may go unnoticed. One remedy for this is the “Look at That” game found in Brain Training for Dogs course. In “Look at That,” we will work specifically on teaching your dog to pay attention to the smacking sound despite strong distractions.

Note: Don’t like using the smacking sound? No problem! You can replace the smacking sound with any other sound you like, such as a whistle or a pop. Just make sure the sound you choose is loud enough to be heard in busier environments, and that it is a sound you can make yourself.

     The Importance of Incentives

How would you feel about the idea of working without getting paid? This is exactly how our dogs may feel when we ask them to perform mundane tasks without rewarding them for their efforts! That is why incentives are so important in dog training.

There are many different types of incentive, but food rewards are the most common. These rewards are given to a dog whenever he successfully performs a certain action. So let’s say we just started teaching our dog to “sit” for the first time. When he sits successfully, we would reward his effort by slipping him a doggy biscuit or piece of kibble. Now, the next time we ask him to sit, he will be eager to do so because he knows that he will get something tasty in return!

the Brain Training for Dogs program cover techniques which allow you to stop giving your dog a treat every time he successfully performs a certain action, and also introduce other forms of reward.

Slices of plain cooked chicken are high-value treats. They can be used during particularly challenging training sessions.

 4. Reward Voluntary Check-ins

When you are out in the yard with your dog, how often does he pay attention to you? Most likely, not very much, as he’s far too busy exploring the world with his powerful sniffer. Maybe it’s time for a little change…

Make it a habit when you are out in the yard to bring along some high-value treats (e.g. plain cooked chicken slices). Keep these treats handy in a pocket or treat bag. Now every time your dog happens to walk within arm’s reach of you, praise him and extend your hand to offer him a treat. If you do this often enough, positive reinforcement will work its magic and you’ll soon notice your dog checking in with you more and more. This is great news, because it means he is learning that you are worthy of his attention!

I reward my dog for voluntarily checking in on me in the yard.

        5. Right Place, Right Time

Choosing to begin training sessions at the right place and time can play a big role in whether or not your dog is able to pay attention.

It’s best to avoid training your dog when you first come home from work and he is all eager and excited to greet you, or when he’s all hyped up and bouncing off the walls after mealtime. Instead, wait until your dog is calmer and more capable of focusing, and use these times to your advantage.

You may also want to avoid training a new behavior in an environment where there are lots of distracting sights, sounds, and smells (e.g. the yard), as this makes it harder for your dog to stay focused on you. Instead, try training in a quiet room at first. It’s also a good idea to avoid rooms with windows if your dog is easily distracted by things he sees outside.

Note: Once your dog gets good at performing a new behavior, you can try taking him to a more distracting location for an added challenge. By teaching your dog to perform the behavior despite the added distractions, it will become more reliable.
