#IDEA 42. Get a 2 x 1-foot long cardboard piece (the sturdier the better) and cut thin holes, big enough to squeeze through a few of your dog's tug-and-pull rope toys, for your dog to have to pull out of while you hold the cardboard up.

#IDEA 43. If you have a backyard, fill a big enough plastic container (depending on your dog's size) with sand for your dog to dig their toys out of. An indoor version would involve shredded paper or cloth.

#IDEA 44. Get a long enough PVC pipe and drill a few holes into it for your dog to have to move around as each piece falls out.

Patience/impulse control-like training game: Purposely toss treats or your dog's favourite toy underneath furniture, where your dog won't be able to reach, and wait for them to learn (without any verbal cues or commands from you) that the way to get to what they want is to wait quietly, longer and longer each time.

#IDEA 48. Use a 2-step ladder for your dog to have to step on and off of before you toss a treat for them to go find.
