Simple DIY Dog Enrichment: Turn Empty Rolls into Fun Treat Puzzles
Los Angeles, CA - A local dog trainer, known as PupScouts Dog Training, has shared a simple yet effective method for dog enrichment using common household items. In a recent online video, the trainer demonstrated how to transform empty paper towel and toilet paper rolls into engaging puzzle toys for dogs. The technique involves stuffing the cardboard rolls with dog treats and then folding or twisting the ends to secure the treats inside. This encourages dogs to use their natural instincts, such as sniffing and shredding, to access the hidden rewards. "It's a great way for dogs who like to shred to get their shredding out," the trainer explained, noting that the activity helps tire out dogs mentally and physically. The trainer emphasized the importance of supervision when introducing this enrichment activity to ensure the dog's safety and prevent accidental ingestion of the cardboard. This DIY approach offers an accessible and inexpensive way for pet owners to provide mental stimulation and an appropriate outlet for their dogs' natural behaviors.
