Made to order. Our shred and sniff balls come in sizes small,medium,large and for the bigger dogs we have jumbo sizes.
This is designed to stimulate your dogs mind and prevent unwanted behaviours.
The ball will give them a chance to show their natural behaviours and keep boredom at bay. Inside the ball are small treats that they need to work out how to get out (treats not included)

Jack doing his favourite thing.....sniffing for the yummy treats!
We found a lovely pile of leaves today, made even better by the fact this was between rain showers ❤️
Well wilsons clearly had a good time in Wales. Dreamy boy this evening 🐕😍💙
Luna had great fun trying to get her treats out of her Shred & Sniff ball
Jack getting stuck straight in as soon as his Shred & Sniff ball was delivered
Our coco 💙😍
Did you know dogs dream too..
He is so happy and content ☺️ 💙🐕
Here is another example of enrichment.
It's as simple as putting high value treats in a blanket then role it up.
Coco is working out how she will get to what she can smell. Eventually she will unroll the blanket to retrieve the treats inside.
This kind of enrichment can calm your dog down and actually lower their heart rate.
Did you know, you don't always need to throw away old toys.
Here we are using an old rubber ball with a hole in for echo's mental enrichment. To make it easier you can drill more holes in the ball. The reason your dog may not take to games is:
1. Not exciting enough
2. It's too hard for them
3. The treat inside isn't high value, making it less desirable.
Be sure to fill with small high value treats. Echo is a miniature dachshund and they are also scent hounds.
She is using her nose to sniff the treats and push the ball around to get them out.
Say hi to beautiful Nola 😍
She was rescued from Egypt where she had lots of struggles.
When we first met her she was afraid of the world 💙
She wouldn't know how to react with dogs and other triggers. Her body language would tell us that she was scared and very anxious.
We implemented clicker training, direction turns, desensitisation and association activities. Now her reaction zone has become smaller.
she can now disengage herself from triggers with a confident and happy body language.
A big well done to the owner's for putting in the work whilst I'm not training her.
Just look how happy she looks 😍 💕 🐕
Lovely roman having fun today with his enrichment 😍🐕
Our coco 🐕😍
She's come a long way from when we rescued her. She was a very anxious and scared dog out and about.
Her previous owners would shout at her alot, not take her for walks but instead open the door to let her run from the house onto a park field to do her own thing, with no guidance. Her birth mum was stuck on a breeding farm which can also aid in anxiety disorders in the mum and pups due to the stress of the environment.
We implemented direction turns, lots of mental enrichment, hide and seek games, association with certain triggers and noises.
For a while now she's been loving it off lead. She has much more confidence in herself outside.
She's an absolute joy 😊 🐕🐕
No to raw hide 😬🐕
Really bad for your dogs.
Here is Titan.
He's made an excellent transition from ex police dog to a home loving dog.
We are keeping him focused when on a long lead by using a chaser pole. This is a great tool to use when you want them to receive both mental and physical stimulation.
They can display natural hunting behaviours and they learn that being around you when off lead is more fun than the distractions that may be around them.
Well done to the owner's for taking my methods and tools and using them in their own time to improve him. 🐕😀
Echo loves playing dead 🤣🤣
Worth a watch. Brilliant explanation to why we don't use correctional methods.
You will make your dog fearful of you and it will ruin your bond. 👌🐕
Do you need help with keeping your dog engaged whilst off the lead or on the lead?
We have some great tools to aid you with this as you can see below.
Dexter is enjoying his chase game with the flirt pole 🐕😃
Dexter has been training with us and is doing so well with whatever we throw at him.
He has come out his shell, working him in different environments with different distractions. He's well on his way to becoming comfortable around different triggers and at the same time having the time of his life.
🐕😀
Be sure to practice what you teach your dog at home outside with more distraction.
This is called proofing. Start the simple obedience at home with low distraction then move outside and gradually test your dog in different environments. When your dog complies in all the environments you have put them in, then the movements have been proofed and work 🙂🐕
