This makes a lot of sense, we are told to exercise our minds as we ourselves hit middle age, I've attempted just that with Dad, but its past that time for him. Keeping the mind active and engaged and not bored is what they are striving to achieve. I have seen several toys on YT with those toys within a toy to attempt to retrieve through various holes would be ideal.
Sadly I havent found a stuffed toy yet that Shelby will not totally destroy within days, sigh. We try to keep her interested with her walks which are very limited atm due to a new development of a herniated disc below her AAI surgery site. So bones are the choice now that cant be broken. Chew toys also. Sorry I wandered off topic.
Perhaps some links to those puzzle toys we have run across?
