I got Chubs the Buster Cube, and its on the easiest possible setting, and he still just wants to lay down with it and chew on it. I have to take it away, shake it around until treats come out and then he bats it around on his own for a few minutes while treats fly out. Then back to laying down and trying to gnaw on it. Repete cycle, lol.

lol!!! rufus loves his buster cube to the point he guards it from other dogs, so he only gets it when ruby is put away as he will be nasty with it..

there is also 101 things to do with a box, you just need a cardboard box, clicker and treats lol

I like playing "Where's the mouse? Get the mouse!" with Mav. We get a rat toy, fill it with a treat, then hide it and watch him run around like a crazy dog trying to get it. Cappy likes searching, too. The girls just follow the boys and have no idea what they're doing lol Great exercise!

I got Jess one of those Tug a Jugs. She watched me unscrew the bottom, put the treats in and screw the bottom back on. As soon as I put it on the ground, she went for the bottom, unscrewed it, and ate all the treats!

The next treat toy will get filled where she can't see and learn!

Rocky broke the Tug O Jug in like seconds. And he does same thing with buster cube gets all panty and nuts and tries to chew through it. I have to take it away cause the whole house smells of slobber breath when he has that thing. It has been in the closet. I rarely take it out.
