Add a Special Twist to Your Dog’s Eating Habits!

If your dog is home alone for a good part of the day, it’s likely that the three biggest perks of his daily routine are seeing you come home, going for a walk and eating his meal. If you are feeding your dog from a food bowl, your dog is likely drooling in anticipation as you prepare his meal. Then, once the food bowl is put down, the meal is wolfed down in record time. Eating that food so fast can lead to choking and even health problems such as regurgitation, flatulence and, in a worst case scenario, life-threatening bloat! On top of that, what a waste! The food in the bowl could have been put to a more productive use to mentally stimulate your dog and give him a little more exercise.

Food Bowl Alternatives

Don’t put your dog’s food to waste by placing it in the food bowl and letting him gobble it down in seconds! There are several other options at your disposal. No, this doesn’t mean that you will have to unleash your dog and take him to the fields for a good old fashioned duck hunt, nor does it means you will have to let him go sniff a trail in search of bunnies. From the comfort of your home, you can give your dog the opportunity to work for his food as nature intended, giving him that mental stimulation he craves. Here are my top 5 recommendations for dog feeder toys.

KONG Wobbler

KONG WobblerThe KONG Wobbler is a nifty little invention, you simply unscrew it, fill it with tasty doggy treats and watch as your dog rolls it all around the floor! Because of the hole on the side, when it is rolled over treats are free to drop out. This is a great way to keep your dog active and reduces the risk of bloat by preventing your dog from eating his meal too quickly. Two birds with one stone! The Wobbler provides hours of entertainment and is pretty cheap too making it one of my most recommended toys!

Einstein Says: Make sure the treats you put into the toy are small enough to fit through the hole in the toy otherwise your dog won’t be able to get them out.

Classic KONG

KONG classic feeder toyLike the Wobbler, the classic KONG is a toy which your dog has to tip and roll around to get the treats which are hidden inside. The classic design features two holes, a smaller one on the top end which smaller treats such as kibble can fit through, and a larger hole on the bottom which can accomodate larger treats. When using this toy stuff the bottom end with cookies and top it up with kibble. The cookies will be harder to get out due to their size but are much more rewarding!

Einstein Says: Us dogs love mixing it up! Why not give your dog the Wobbler one day and the classic KONG the next? That way you will keep variety in his life!

Paw Hide Puzzle

paw hide puzzleThe Paw Hide puzzle is a cool little toy where you place treats under the cups. Your dog will smell the treats hiding under the cups and will have to lift them off to get at the food! Be warned, however, that some owners have reported problems with their dog not being able to lift out the cups, or the plastic cracking which can lead to sharp edges. For a safer alternative see “The Muffin Game” in the Brain Training For Dogs course.

Einstein Says: If you use this toy, why not get creative? Instead of filling every single hole with treats, why not put them under only some of the cups. You can even put different treats into each holder to give your dog a surprise!

Nina Ottosson Puzzle Games

Nina Ottosson slide puzzle; Nina Ottosson is well regarded for producing good quality dog puzzles. All of the toys are well thought out and built, from sliding block puzzles where your dog has to shift blocks to uncover treats, to the “treat maze” game which is basically a harder version of the KONG toy we mentioned earlier.

Einstein Says: Woof! I love playing with the dog twister!

Feed Meal Portions During Training

Giving Einstein a treatInstead of giving your dog his food all in one go, why not save a small portion of his meal for training? Using dinner portions as training rewards helps to avoid feeding your dog too many calories during the day. To put it another way, can you imagine how quickly you’d gain weight if you had your three square meals every day PLUS a bunch of snacks every time you did something good?

BTFD 3D CoverMany of the games in my course mix meals and fun together. My personal favorite is the “Treasure Hunt” game, but there are plenty of games in the course which can act as great alternatives to the boring food bowl. The course will save you a lot of money by teaching you how to create your own KONG toy and Paw Hide Puzzle using only household items, as well as many other engaging games which combine meals with fun and exercise!

Seven Home Remedies For An Allergic Dog 🐾
These natural products may take some time to work, but they’re worth a try if you’re rightfully concerned about the use of traditional medications and their side effects. While natural treatments are often considered safe it’s important to consider that they still can have “drug-like effects”, especially when dosed or administered incorrectly. It’s always best to consult with a holistic vet for proper use and dosage recommendations. Also, it’s a good practice to inform your regular vet about any natural supplements you are giving. Here are some of the best natural remedies for dogs with allergies:


Quercetin

This natural remedy is known as “nature’s Benadryl” for many good reasons. Quercetin is a flavonoid found in many plants and is known to have potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties. In addition, quercetin is also known for suppressing the production of certain inflammatory molecules responsible for triggering inflammation of the respiratory tract and bronchoconstriction. Quercetin supplements can be found in the form of capsules or concentrated powders.


Bromelain

This enzyme is derived from pineapple. When added to quercetin, bromelain increases its bioavailability and works in synergy making it more effective. Bromelain also suppresses the production of histamine and prostaglandins. This enzyme is often added in quercetin supplements.


Stinging Nettle

Like quercetin, this natural remedy inhibits the release of histamine and its biologically active compounds lower the inflammatory response. Often used in the form of a tea or extract, nettle reduces itching, and best of all, it can help desensitize the body over time making the immune system less reactive according to veterinarian Sara Skiwski.


Essential Fatty Acids

These fatty acids support the immune system and lower the level of inflammation in the body. Fish oils, such as those obtained from wild salmon, krill, haddock and cod are great sources of Omega-3 fatty acids. Other beneficial sources are plant-based Omega-6 fatty acids found in evening primrose, blackcurrant seed oil and borage. Veterinarian Randy Kidd suggests a combination of both sources of fatty acids for a more potent effect.


Vitamin C

This healthy vitamin does more than prevent colds. When taken daily in the correct dose it helps lower the levels of histamine in the blood.


Coconut Oil

More and more dog owners are reaping the benefits of adding coconut oil to their dog’s diets. Coconut oil contains lauric acid which can help to suppress the body’s inflammatory response.


Oatmeal Baths

While oatmeal baths don’t cure allergies, it’s worth mentioning them because they work great for providing relief. A cool oatmeal bath is soothing to dogs with dry itchy skin and skin allergies.

Other Helpful Solutions
Make sure you feed a natural, high-quality diet free of wheat, corn or soy, reduce unnecessary vaccinations and invest in natural products that have a low potential for toxicity. You may also want to consider acupuncture or homeopathy for chronic or severe allergy cases. All these steps combined with natural supplements pave the path towards a stronger immune system so your dog will be on his way to many healthier and happier days to come.

👏Reward Voluntary Check-ins 👏
Rewarding a voluntary check-in
you should reward your dog for voluntarily checking in on you in the yard.
When you are out in the yard with your dog, how often does he pay attention to you? Most likely, not very much, as he’s far too busy exploring the world with his powerful sniffer. Maybe it’s time for a little change…

Make it a habit when you are out in the yard to bring along some high-value treats (e.g. plain cooked chicken slices). Keep these treats handy in a pocket or treat bag. Now every time your dog happens to walk within arm’s reach of you, praise him and extend your hand to offer him a treat. If you do this often enough, positive reinforcement will work its magic and you’ll soon notice your dog checking in with you more and more. This is great news, because it means he is learning that you are worthy of his attention! ❗️

🐾 How would you feel about the idea of working without getting paid? This is exactly how our dogs may feel when we ask them to perform mundane tasks without rewarding them for their efforts! That is why incentives are so important in dog training.

There are many different types of incentive, but food rewards are the most common. These rewards are given to a dog whenever he successfully performs a certain action. So let’s say we just started teaching our dog to “sit” for the first time. When he sits successfully, we would reward his effort by slipping him a doggy biscuit or piece of kibble. Now, the next time we ask him to sit, he will be eager to do so because he knows that he will get something tasty in return! 🐕‍🦺 🐾

Chicken slices
Slices of plain cooked chicken are high-value treats. They can be used during particularly challenging training sessions.
