Destruction Box Blues
A great way of providing Food Enrichment combined with Mental Stimulation .
Sniffing & Brain Games will tire your puppy out a lot quicker than going on walks. Also a Great Confidence Builder.
It’s just a simple box filled with various items with treats hidden inside. The pup has to rummage through it to find the puzzles then work out how to get the treats.
This is a First Attempt for this pup but I’m sure in a few days she will be jumping straight in and rummaging for some delicious treats.
Enrichment Blues
This pup eats his meals from his food bowl in a matter of seconds.
By feeding some meals out of one of these level 2 puzzles it provides valuable mental stimulation/ Increases Confidence/ Relieves Boredom & importantly lengthens meal times allowing owners valuable free time !!

It is a calm sport which gives them focus away from other dogs whilst mentally tiring them out.

Foundation Course - Starts Wednesday 7th June ( Runs over 3 Consecutive weeks) 2 Spaces left.
