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!!
I love that you included the "let's play" parts!
Creative ideas...some of the more original ones I've ever seen.
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!
Yay, I live for comments like these! I'm so happy your dog is getting some enrichment while you are away - that will make her life happier :0) x
I have the same problem! Bored out of his mind and can't walk him except on the weekends due to the heat and an early work schedule for me. My Otto gets into the EMPTY garbage every day out of sheer boredom. I think the dishtowel will be his favorite too.
@@leanneevans4080 I hope he loves it as much as my girl does!!!
Thank you for sharing these practically zero cost super easy diy projects.
I loved that you showed how Watson plays. It gives a good idea of what to expect :D
These are so helpful. I have an Australian cattle dog and he loves puzzles like this. Thank you for your video!!
Unexpectedly rescuing a three year old Yorkie (his owner died), and knowing he needs play, I came to RUclips 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.
Thank you for the towel knot treat game! I take care of a senior dog and he needs stimulation!
I really like the plait toy! It's a fun challenge without being too hard or frustrating for my pup
The tower is great idea
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!
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Walter Wyatt instablaster =)
@Andrew Wade thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Andrew Wade it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Walter Wyatt Glad I could help :)
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
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 🤣🤣
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!
Great idea with freezing it! we tried it but Watson isn't bothered with it then lol. Yes the paper does make a mess, but no more than children hehe, and if you tidy up as they are playing its not too bad :0) xx
I made the braid, thank you
Beautiful refresher of how to entertain my lil shredder🐶🐾tysm for sharing
This was very creative and I will definitely make some of these for my dog! THANK YOU! 😀😀
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
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
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.
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.
This is EXACTLY what i was looking for! Thanks! 😊
Just used hack 4 plait with my chihuahua she loves it! Will definitely try the others too 👍 thank you for the video 😃
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.
Awesome ❤
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
Thanks so much Dawn - he's healing really well. Hoping to get results today! x
Aaaa thank you so much
Yah my mini Aussie will eat threw all those😂
Lol that’s the point. If they have chewing/destro doggo tendencies give them an appropriate outlet to realize those natural behaviours….might save ya some pairs of shoes, rugs, couches yenno
Nice video, like the ideas. Just goes to show that with some thought we can come up with all sorts of new ideas
Wow these are great! Will be trying the roll one and the braid one 😁 thank you!
These are so creative! Great job, thanks!
The towel maze my dog really likes
Lucky pooch!
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!
Yay I'm so happy for them! Lots of other ideas on my Instagram and Facebook if you are looking for more entertainment during lockdown :0) x
Every morning I make one of these and I’m late for work
Oh no! Make it the night before :0) x
😂😂😂that would be me
Wish my 10 pound shihtzu had the strength to pull the bags off the sock tree
I did this game with a tiny shihtzu with no teeth, and what I did was just put the bags/fleece on at the very end of the peg so it barely required any tugging. She managed great :0)
Be careful uses any small materials with larger breeds and chewers.
Where did you get the white plastic thing from?
Its linked in the description :0) I got it from Ikea but the link is for Amazon
Had you all on my mind and in my prayers today. Loved the video. 💗💜💗💛💗
Thanks so much Jill. Watson is healing well and we are hoping to get results today! x
Hi Karen, just popped in to find out how Watson, you and Kev are doing? Hope you are well. XOX Jan.
I do this but my Shepherd chews right through the material.
Thank you 👱♀️
Fabulous ideas Karen. Hope your boy is doing OK x
Thanks so much Anne. Watson is healing really well and we hope to get results today! x
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
I tidy as we play and honestly I'd prefer a happy dog that a perfectly tidy house. x
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 made the bottle game my dog is just whinning at the toy
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?
Dogs usually do that only when they are under-stimulated,so if you give them stuff to do like this, they won't feel the need to destroy anything.
Watson is so cute
Good ideas, but please don't use rubber bands, Choking hazard.
There are a lot of things here that are choking hazards if dogs aren't supervised, the tiny little bands that tie the tea towel probably are the least worrisome - the pegs on the sock tree for example would be a risk. Know your dog and act accordingly. xx
✳️👍✳️👍✳️👍
My dogs name is ginger
Very cool name of course lol. x
The plastic and cardboard is not good if they chew them and cardboard makes a mess🤦♀️
NA NA Fans aren’t you fun at parties
@@tailsntrails i have a jack russell crazy full of energy i always gota get stuf he cant tear up srry lol
Sorry
Tearing and chewing releases oxitocin in the brain (happiness hormone). The act helps to release energy and the hormone helps a dog to relax after the act of ripping something apart 😌
Jack is a ratter and it’s natural for him to try to murder things. Not letting him do it is quite cruel in the sense.
I love these games, will be copying in the near future - I’ve got loads of old t towels and fabric scraps 😊
I mean. Just because something is fun and a natural behavoir doesnt mean its safe. Fabric shreds and strings can wreak havoc on a dogs digestive tract and can cause serious blockages. Alot of dogs end up eating parts of what they shred up in the midst of fun. As great as all these are, most need to be supervised to make sure nothing is consumed.
