Working for Kibble - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I'm trying to learn how to make video. Someday I'll get it. Here's today's attempt.

Deuce loves to work for his Kibble. He has a gentle left and and quick right. When the kibble is done he gets a bit feisty with the ball!!!!!

Deuce is such a beautiful boy! Love how you have him cut.

That would be great for dogs that eat too fast. Even though Huey is not super interested in mealtimes or kibble-he kinda snacks all day- he is super motivated by treats and play. I wonder how he would like something like that? Its a thought...

Your video efforts look just fine! Only problem is - WE NEED MORE videos in the future !!!

Deuce looks so cute working for his kibble and he's very calm about it. So cute! Now I have to get Tibbe that treat ball, too. The only reason I didn't choose one like it was that our Petco ball like that just had a small shaft area for treats and the whole ball wasn't open inside. I'm hopeful I can find one just like that with the whole ball for filling with more than just a few pieces of kibble.

But Deuce looks just like Tibbe at mealtime. Tibbe has 3 different treat toy and a puzzle dispensers that I load his kibble in and he has to work to eat his breakfast and dinner most days. He just loves it and will bark and bark and paw at the treat kong when I ask him if he wants his dinner in the treat kong or the stainless bowl. He has three kinds of little treat kongs and the Shuffle Bone Treat dispenser and by the time he's done with all of those, he's worn out, ready to go outside and then take a little nap. He can clean out that puzzle dispenser in about 1 1/2 minutes now, as he's only had it a few day. But he sure enjoys working out for his meals and it keeps him busy - a plus for both of us!

Deuce is a doll, BTW!!!

That's why I use it. He's not too interested in his Kibble so I get him to snack on it. I also use it for training and he thinks it's treats. It could sit out in his bowl and he doesn't touch it unless he's really hungry.

Deuce sure is beautiful in your avatar picture! Is he dressed for the Valentine Ball perhaps?

Ok, something else added to the "gotta get one of those" list...

I think it's really a cat toy. I take it away from him when he's done. He's tried to tear it up already so I closely supervise since it's not Deuce proof!!!

Very cute little guy there and I enjoyed the video. Was that a snack or his full meal in the ball?

That was a lunch snack. He eats about 1/3 cup of kibble every day and a half. I give him 1 ounce of wet food with fortaflora for breakfast and 1 ounce of wetfood (hills ID) for dinner with fortiflora and kibble for dinner. I use the kibble as snacks and treats to use it up in a day and a half. It seems to work for him. He weighs about 5 pounds. Deuce has had digestive problems in the past and this seems to work.

Gotcha. I have purchased something similar for my pup. Thanks for the info.

Nice video! Something I have to figure out one day!

Deuce is so handsome, I love his hair.
Joel has the Orbee treat ball that he loves but he's not too patient with it, he just drops it by me and cries, lol I wonder why
