Found a cheap puzzle toy at Walgreen's, like $5-6. Yeah, I'm cheap! Really I wanted to see how my pups would do with this type of toy, where you hide a treat and they have to push or flip a piece of wood to uncover the treat. This toy has 6 holes for treats and 3 covers that they can slide over or flip to get the treat. I wanted to try this out before investing in the more expensive versions... $25 and up.

Well I must say, my dogs are Geniuses! I set the toy up and put it on the floor, and they all stood there looking at me. They could smell the treats, but they know where the treats are kept, and knew I had the container nearby. Lol.

So I proceeded to play with the toy to get them interested, and Tink got mad and picked up the whole toy and carried it off to investigate by herself (she is the toy owner of the group and the biggest, at 16+ lbs). The rest just stood there looking at me, and yes, wanting me to give them a treat. (They are trained this way).

I will work on this with them, just thought their first attempt was funny.
