Introducing the toy to your dog:
To start treat dispensing or mealtime feeding fill the toy with food or treats. In the beginning make sure your dog observes you filling the toy with food. Demonstrate the use of the toy to your dog, make it a big event. Let them sniff the toy’s opening. Push it and roll it until some of the food or treats are released. Get excited about the toy and your dog will too! Most dogs will quickly learn to use their nose or paws to move the toy and release the treats. Praise your dog each time a treat is released. Your praise and the treat reward will encourage continued involvement.
It also helps to introduce the toy when your dog is hungry and thus more motivated to work for the treats. Often one demonstration is all that’s needed in order for your dog to catch on. Repeat the process several times if necessary. It’s recommended that you start with a number of high-value small treats for maximum canine motivation and easy dispensing. This method ensures a rapid training period. As your dog gets more comfortable with the toy you can increase the challenge by reducing the number of treats inside using larger treats and/or a combination of large and small treats. However always make sure the treats are not too big to fit through the dispensing hole.
