Hi everyone,
My 1-year-old Lab/Hound mix, BooBoo, tends to destroy things around the house when left alone for more than 3 hours. I am sure it is due to boredom and a lack of stimulation. Can anyone recommend some tough and mentally stimulating dog toys or DIY options that can keep him engaged and survive his enthusiasm?
Yooh @Nicholas , my dog used to have the same issue too. One thing that worked wonders for me was a sturdy puzzle toy with treats inside. You can also try a DIY option like a hidden treat game—just hide some kibble in a towel and let him figure it out. It kept my pup busy and satisfied.
I have found that Snoop toys are incredibly durable, I would still keep an eye on things to ensure everything is going smoothly.
The Pet Zone IQ Treat Ball is a fun toy for dogs of all sizes. It keeps them busy and smart as they figure out how to get treats out.
Great tip! Puzzle toys and DIY treat games are fantastic for keeping dogs engaged and mentally stimulated. They can also help with separation anxiety and boredom. Glad to hear it worked for your pup!
