#IDEA 7. Got a few travel bags handy? Grab two socks and put a bit of perfume on both, and place one inside one of the bags if/when your dog sniffs for the hidden sock in one of the bags, provide them with a reward as you feel that he is starting to match the scent. This can be a neat party trick!
#IDEA 8. Got a large cardboard box to spare? Using a pen or pencil, poke multiple small holes through the cardboard so that you can tightly place pieces of your dog's kibble in each hole. That way your dog will need to either push, lick/chew or paw his way to getting each piece from the cardboard.
#IDEA 9. With the front door or backyard door open (or slightly open, depending on comfort level), hang out with your dog on leash, as you wait for him to share eye contact with you before rewarding them with their kibble or treats, to reward them for ignored any distractions coming from outside.
#IDEA 10. While your dog is in a different room (or tied away with a leash for a moment), hide multiple pieces of kibble and a few small treats all throughout your living room. Afterwards, give your dog the "Search!" cue and watch them look for and find each piece using their amazing nose!
#IDEA 11. Got a large cardboard box (or small, depending on your dog's size)? Place inside of it a bunch of clean old towels and rags or old clothing before you hide within those your dog's treats and kibble meal for him to have to snuffle and search through it all to be able to find each piece of food!
#IDEA 12. Got your dog's bed handy? Place it a few meters away from where you are and wait for your dog to step on it, touch it or simply smell it. Every time he does, toss a treat anywhere in the room! He'll eventually learn that tasty things happen because he's choosing to give you space and be near/on his bed instead.
