Creative ideas...some of the more original ones I've ever seen.

I love that you included the "let's play" parts!

I feel guilty when my little Pitbull girl gets bored at home or while I'm working. I KNOW it's due to lack of enrichment. I made the dishtowel roll filled with kibble and OMG she hasn't put it down . . . this was such a genius idea on the cheap!! Love your video! Will def try more of these!

Unexpectedly rescuing a three year old Yorkie (his owner died), and knowing he needs play, I came to KZfaq to find answers. I have say these are some of the most creative ideas, original, not copied. I can’t wait to try all of them. When he came, he had a harness and a leash. As my budget is very tight (as all of ours are) I was hoping to to find exactly your video. As someone said watching how itʼs used is so helpful. What is great is as he uses one, he gets the next, and it will always be a different toy (and treat) in the queue.

I loved that you showed how Watson plays. It gives a good idea of what to expect :D

i love how you sary away from Fleece.. the micro plastic is very dangerous.. Also so much fun to see your dog enjoying the toys... THANK YOU!!

Thank you for sharing these practically zero cost super easy diy projects.

These are so helpful. I have an Australian cattle dog and he loves puzzles like this. Thank you for your video!!

I really like the plait toy! It's a fun challenge without being too hard or frustrating for my pup

I just did the yoga mat and the rope braid one and she sure loved it! doesn't take her very long to solve them but better than nothing! I'm tired of spending money on toys and things like that. Really appreciate these easy at home ones. And they seem easy enough to make more difficult too if I want to

The tower is great idea

Love the more heavy duty hacks such as the plastic craft box or the ikea tower. Our dogs would make a giant mess from all the paper products but all n all...I’ve got some new ideas! Another tip with the cloth braided rope one: if you are an active family and stay outdoors or by a pool all summer-add peanut butter to a few sections of the towel and then freeze it. They stay busier and they won’t eat or unintentionally digest cloth like they might t.p rolls or gift bags! Then decide who’s the brave one and simply spray it all out and add treats back for multiple uses! Thanks for the imagination!

These are all very brilliant fun little games. Just make sure to supervise to garentee fabrics, and plastics dont get consumed. Fabric shreds and strings can not only wreak havoc on a dogs digestive tract but can cause serious blockages and obstructions. If you know your dog has a tendancy to eat bits of what he shreds as most dogs do, just make sure to keep an eye out. Otherwise these are awesome cheap entertaining ways to keep your dogs mind active!

Lol my dog would eat all the fabric as well good luck with the string poo if you leave the house while you dogs got one of these 🤣🤣

Wow, these look absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing! I tried the first one with a little bit of tracking training for my dog to find it, and the rolled up towel kept him busy for at least 15min.

The toilet paper tube one is great I did that all the time with my golden before I saw video with old t shirts that was trash and he loved tearing up the rolls and the old t shirt and he knew that if I give it to him he can tear it up anything else don't touch as a puppy he learned after I gave him the toilet paper roll and scarf game twice he never tore anything up again besides his toys. And the muffin pan one he loves and my frie D's find it abazing. And old t shirts card board box and treat hidden in shirts and boxed sealed with small piece of scotch present tape nothing big or hard to open tape wise keeps him busy for a hour. I'm doing fun tower today after this video. I leave about 10 homemade brain games different ones around house if I'm gone more then 3 hours. I have two dogs so he don't get lonely as well. He loves all these only thing I haven't done is the fun tower I came up with all these on my own before I saw video now I know I'm not crazzy for doing all this for a dog lol. Add rope to dish towel make it harder if he needs it harder to open. Just tie a pretty thick road that's like a half inch round around the dish towel and it's wrapped it in the rope that way the rope he has to get through some of the rope and I'll tie the rope before he gets to the dish towels. I usually put about good 5 to 10 wraps around the rope and don't cover the whole dish towel in the rope just a little bit and leave gaps between the rope as well about 2 to 3 in that way he can get between the rope and pull the rope off the dish towels before he gets the dish towels. And also if you want something really hard for them just braid three pieces of good size rope together and play small training treats in between the braids along the rope and it'll take him forever to open it but he loves it cuz you can tear up the rope. Instead of craft box I use 2 big muffin pans he can't break and swallow or get hurt on shards of plastic safer if he gets bored and wants to tear the box up alone plastic would be bad lol

Awesome ❤

Yah my mini Aussie will eat threw all those😂

Thank you for the towel knot treat game! I take care of a senior dog and he needs stimulation!

Great video, my little Shih Tzu went crazy for the braided towel so made a super long one. She’s been wrestling with it for 45min now and making happy noises

I made the braid, thank you

This is EXACTLY what i was looking for! Thanks! 😊

Beautiful refresher of how to entertain my lil shredder🐶🐾tysm for sharing

Thanks so much for these! I hope Watson is okay and recovering from his op. I’ve got everything crossed for you that they got it all and he makes a full recovery. x

This was very creative and I will definitely make some of these for my dog! THANK YOU! 😀😀

Just used hack 4 plait with my chihuahua she loves it! Will definitely try the others too 👍 thank you for the video 😃

Fantastic video! Thanks a ton for sharing. I can tell my dog is bored and I’ve bought or borrowed a lot of enrichment toys, but he often chews through them or gives up. This is a great solution: I won’t be too disappointed if he problem solved by destroying or isn’t interested, and I can easily modify the toys so they’re easier or harder for him.

Thank you for sharing these games! I've bought more than one "puzzle" for my dog, (who resembles your dog a lot!), and he just picks them up and dumps them or shakes them. I will give a few of these a try.

Had you all on my mind and in my prayers today. Loved the video. 💗💜💗💛💗

These are so creative! Great job, thanks!

Aaaa thank you so much

Be careful uses any small materials with larger breeds and chewers.

Thank you so much for making this video! I never thought of these I kinda feel dumb now 😅 but omg my puppers life is gonna be so much less boring now thank you!

Wow these are great! Will be trying the roll one and the braid one 😁 thank you!

Nice video, like the ideas. Just goes to show that with some thought we can come up with all sorts of new ideas

Fabulous ideas Karen. Hope your boy is doing OK x

Every morning I make one of these and I’m late for work

The towel maze my dog really likes

Thank you 👱‍♀️

Lucky pooch!

Hi Karen, just popped in to find out how Watson, you and Kev are doing? Hope you are well. XOX Jan.

Where did you get the white plastic thing from?

Watson is so cute

Wish my 10 pound shihtzu had the strength to pull the bags off the sock tree

Like the first hack but i dont think it will work on my dog.He is a beast he will rip and eat the toilet rolls 😅😅😅😅

I do this but my Shepherd chews right through the material.

I made the bottle game my dog is just whinning at the toy

Imagine how trashed her house gets after the dog is done playing 🤣 and only for 5 min play max... I appreciate the creativity and dedication to your dog but will only be trying Hack 4... maybe 6

✳️👍✳️👍✳️👍

My dogs name is ginger

Good ideas, but please don't use rubber bands, Choking hazard.

literally just touches the dog to destroy things to get to the food i mean most of it looks like old food cartons and stuff what if he or she starts to rummag thru the garbage?

Is your dog a puddle?

Is your dog a cockerpoo

The plastic and cardboard is not good if they chew them and cardboard makes a mess🤦‍♀️
