My sister shared the idea of putting treats in a muffin tin and the putting balls on top as a brain game for dogs, so I had to try it!

The first time I put it out for Missy (with bits of hot dog in the cups), it was a wonderful challenge for the puppy, and she spent a good 15 minutes rooting out the balls to get the treats (not grabbing the balls and removing them, which was my prediction). It was great for keeping her occupied without running and jumping since she just had surgery.

The next time, it took 15 seconds. Smart little thing.

Izzy the cat just complained loudly that the puppy got something she didn’t until I gave her a bit of hot dog too. Who has trained who?
