Instructions
Bouncing Sock Ball
Find an old sock, such as one that has faded or has no mate.
Place a rubber "bouncy" ball in the sock. Tie the sock with a ribbon or piece of string so the ball stays in the sock. Rubber bands or tape will also work.
Use a pair of scissors to cut the top of the sock off. Give the toy to your dog to play with.
Tennis Ball Puzzle
Cut a tennis ball three-quarters of the way around its rubber line.
Squeeze the tennis ball so it opens. Fill the ball with dry treats. Don't use wet or even moist treats, which can create too much mess to clean up.
Give the ball to your dog. The dog will smell the treats and will occupy itself learning how to obtain the treats by squeezing the ball with her teeth.
