DIY Digging Game

10/21/2021

0 Comments

 


In my never ending quest to find and provide enrichment for our dogs a toy popped up that was a digging game. An $80 digging game that looked like it would not last one round with our dogs. It was also very similar to putting treats or kibble in with the packing paper in a box. Well, I decided to come up with a more permanent version of the digging game that did not cost $80 and would last longer. A trip to Tractor Supply for the two items needed, a 2 gallon horse watering dish and a painters tarp. You will need a pair of scissors as well. Many of our military members live in quarters that don't have yards for setting up a digging area for their digging loving dogs so this is a great alternative. #digging #DiggingForGold #diggingdogs #dogsdig #lovemyjob #bestjobever #29K9 #dogtrainingrocks #trainwithoutpain #cuenotcommand #notmagic #teachnotpunish #becausescience #sciencematters #fearfree #forcefree #reinforcementdrivesbehavior #nochoke #noprong #noshock #noforce #nofear #nopainrequired #dogtrainingrocks #cookiepusher #motivationmatters #paychecknotbribe #traineddogsforthewin #sniffmatters #bestjobever #puppies

Those Darn Nails

2/8/2020

​One of my hardest challenges as a dog owner is trimming the nails. I'm always nervous that I'll get the quick and that nervousness makes the dogs antsier. Not to mention how hard it is for me to exert enough pressure to clip a Great Dane's nails.

Zoinks breeder has been showing off how easy it is to dremel dog nails so I finally broke down and got the right bit and have been conditioning Zoinks to let me dremel her nails. This started slowly, first with the dremel off and then gradually increasing the speed (and noise) before ever touching the nails. I've now done a few sessions with her and it's gone amazingly well so we are now conditioning the others to it.
​
To make a positive association with the dremel we use a lick mat smeared with peanut butter (make sure it doesn't have xylitol in it). Just use a small amount, smeared on the mat, and then chilled it goes a long way. You could also use plain yogurt, cheese, liver wurst or even canned dog food.

Make a new toy out of an old toy and get rid of one of those old t-shirts stuffed in the back of your drawer at the same time.
