great idea although I fear with mine I'd be buying new balls all the time, rofl, his fav toy is an empty soda bottle( plastic) tills it's no longer with a cap and flat...then its mine again
Great idea! I've used scrunched up paper balls for small dogs, socks rolled up in themselves for others etc. Gotta love creativity. You are right, not everyone has a collection of bouncing balls!
I love how carefully and deliberately she removes the balls once she has found out what to do!! Very nice work! (and nice dog, too!) I'm going to steal this idea for my dogs! :)
Another idea I tried later was to only place a treat under one of the balls and it becomes a scent discrimination game. Wrong choices are naturally not reinforced.
OMG! That's awesome...though i do think shayne would focus too much on the balls. I like to put shayne's dinner in a cardboard box and tape it up LOL. she works so hard figuring how how to open it up--i started by putting kibble under a glass jar...then in a jar... then under a box then in the box w/ a big hole...then a taped box LOL. She has a blast--i should get a video.
What breed is Jessie? She is beautiful!

Jessie wasn't sure which she liked, which i think is why she would play abit with the balls, then go for the food etc.
How about shaping Shayne to lift them (or maybe start with something else) into the muffin tin. Lots of variations possible!
