Some of you may know about these, but I just got a Buster Cube and thought I'd share the info...
George is definitely not one to play with toys. But he's crazy about this one. He's been playing with it for the last half hour, wagging his tail and having a fantastic time. Of course, the motivation is food-related.
It's a hard plastic cube with a hole in one side. There are chambers inside that hold dry kibble or small treats. The dog needs to work at getting the food out, so it's mentally stimulating. They roll it around until a few kibbles fall out. Some people put their dog's morning meal in there before they go to work to help occupy the dog.
I ordered it online (kvvet.com) although they're pretty widely available. Here's their website - http://www.bustercube.com/ .
