Scatter his kibble at mealtime so that he has to search for it.

Going for car rides also helps entertain Joey when we can't get out.


Have fun!
I did take him for a car ride earlier this week and our weather is breaking, so I plan to get in some walks this weekend. I like the hidde the kibble idea -- but with him, I think it might have to be hide the treats (he's not kibble motivated!). I have been negligent with his training -- so this might be a good time to get back to it. Thanks for the ideas!
