- If you stop feeding your dog from a food bowl, you can help them calm down and stop barking, biting, and jumping so much.
All you need to do is change how you feed them.
Here are some of my dog's favorite puzzle toys:

This help from your chanel,impresses my dog and me so much. Thank you for this info. No lick in the face from BobbIe , but a big hug from us two. Greetings from Amsterdam. Karin and Bobbie.. Both glad we found you.👍🍀🙃😏🙂🎶
Hi Doggy Digs. I love your videos. I do have A SERIOUS QUESTION. In this video, the dog with the soldier at 0:30 - 0:32 , what kind of dog is that? I had a dog we adopted (one of the best dogs I have ever owned). I didn’t know his back info and only guessed what his breed(s) were. Can you pls tell me what he is? He looks EXACTLY LIKE MY DOG!! 😊
This is a great idea. I'll try these toys for my next dog for sure. My current dog is old, and I'm not sue if he'll respond. I will try the towel though.
This only works if you feed your dog dry food. My dog eats raw food with added goat milk and hot water. Much better for him and he doesn't suffer from allergies and all the other health issues many dogs have.
That's what I was thinking...what if I feed ny dog actual food, haha
@@naturegirl372 Same thought. I guess I could cut up raw carrots?
I just use a slow feeder feeding her raw
Easily solved... a lactating goat carcass! 🤣
So don't use it
My dog's favorite puzzle is finding a spot behind or to the side of me and STARING until I feed them. Like Eddie level stares, for those that have seen Frasier.
I saw the towel method somewhere a while ago and we've used it for our border collie every night ever since. We use a towel and now can even tie two knots in it and he get it out. He loves it, gets so excited for supper time because of it.
My dog uses an old, small, plastic vanilla essence bottle
Simply put in some kibble, and she picks it up and flings it around for a while until it's empty
Great fun, and amusing to watch too
No problem ! My dogs sit on chairs at the table w/ us & using the correct utensils, plates & glasses in the correct order , etc. , they follow the proper etiquette rules just like all ( human ) children should learn at an early age . Our dinner guests are always impressed ! 🐾🐾💙
Kidding aside, I trained my last dog to sit at the table while I ate, and he would never even dream of taking food from the table. Even if someone got up to go in another room or otherwise wasn't looking. He never begged, either. Because he never received food from the table. Any food we gave him was always taken from the table to his bowl in the other room. And we didn't want him to really associated food from the table with the food he got pest, anyway.
But my favorite training was the off and take it commands. I could put a piece of raw meat on each paw and say off. He would look at the meat, and at me but would not eat it. Then I could points one ant say take it, and he would eat only that one. It was a good skill for a dog that walked on city streets because I could just say off of we walked by something that most dogs couldn't resist snatching up and eating, but which could be harmful or unhealthy.
@@PhilLesh69 You're a good dog parent ! I was most proud of my black Lab who traveled to horse shows w/ me ( laid back , lovely manners , no leash needed ) altho' one time he " went rogue " . When I returned from the show ring after my class ,he was not waiting ( napping 💤 ) at the horse trailer which had never happened before - aghhh !! Found him very close by , sitting on a picnic blanket w/ a young couple who were enjoying his company & sharing their lunch w/ him . 😂 I remember having a great show that day & he had a great meal ! 🐾🐾💙
OMG!!!! IM A HUGE FAN OF DOGGY DIGS!!!!! my puppy Rocket loves dinner now! (hes also a golden retriever!)😁
My dog eats homemade food I can’t switch the bowl
It's a great way to invite bugs and rodents into your home. Scatter kibble around your home.
Ooh! I found some new toys to try! Love this!
I think they’re called snuff mats? I’ve heard they’re great too (like the towel) and decent at making them eat slowly
For wet-foods (whether canned or made yourself) can probably work on a lick mat! They have grooves and stuff making then work a bit to lick it all up (lasts longer if you put it in the freezer beforehand 😂) you can also just use this for treats
Snuffle mats. A lick mat isn't going to be good for our dogs' tender tongues, except occasionally. I need something to feed my dog his raw food in daily. Guess the search continues. It's frustrating because almost everything assumes you feed kibble.
We actually had my sister’s Schnauzer use a Bob-A-Lot when she was just a puppy because she was eating her food too fast. She’s been using it for almost 11 years so it’s worked out well for her. We also found out back then that she’s a lefty so that’s an interesting thing to discover 😂
My dog loves a toy called busy buddy tug-a-jug treat dispenser. It’s a purple plastic bottle with a rope in it. I’m on my second jack Russell and both have loved this toy. I bought my first one 15 years ago or more. The tied up towel took my old jack about 3 minutes to get untied and unrolled. Fun to watch him scoot it around.
My dog will just eat the whole towel.....
Yep our dog would do the same
i was worried the dog might discover that holding the towel by a tip and flinging it around until it unravels would make a mess and some food might end up going to waste in a dark corner of the room or under furniture...though scattering it that way would create a new task, they might prefer that as the fastest way 🙂
Very helpful,thanks.
Good advice. Thanks
glad you liked it!
What you are doing is called enrichment on Maya Daily channel. She is the founder of Alveus Sanctuary. it is one of the routines at the sanctuary for the ambassadors.
Imagine going to a restaurant and getting a puzzle 😂😂😂
I take his kibble add water or low sodium stock wait 1/2 hr til the kibble is soft then stuff into his kong & freeze it. When its meal time, take out of freezer, thaw about 5 mins & give it to him. It takes him a good 1/2 hr to 45 mins getting his food out. Great during summer time or when the weather is warm. 😊
Low sodium stock? I recommend just getting some bone broth at a pet store. Nulo and Open Farm bone broth is made with safe ingredients like chicken, beef, or turkey for the main ingredient type, and then it is simmered with things like parsley, turmeric, carrots, etc. Usually only like 6 ingredients.
Pet specific bone broths are super healthy, good for joint health, and are made without salt. Overall, they are a safe option, and grocery store stock is not.
I also said water. Some dogs need salt in their diet (electrolytes). My dog and prior dogs have/has always had low sod chicken broth and were (lived 15 plus years)/are very healthy. Salt has never been an issue. Simply monitor your dogs salt intake & talk to your vet.
@@paulavitt1656 I never said salt was bad, but kibble is already processed with salt, some brands even list it as an ingredient. Don't forget treats usually have it too depending on the quality you buy. Just remember that too much of anything can be harmful. I don't know what water you give your dogs, tap or filtered, but even water can have sodium chloride in it, you know... salt. (Some brands, again, also list it as an ingredient)
Just please be careful with how much salt you feed to your dogs.
Do you know I’ve seen somebody make recipes using the Kong like dog recipes for different things that they can chew on inside the Kong besides just getting the kibble out. I’ve seen some from gone to the snow dogs!
Perhaps you have thoughts about using wet foods. Not pre-packaged kibble
Excellent!
Great advice but I have to feed my dogs in the morning before work then let the out to poop because they are inside during the day. But I will try this on the weekend thanks.
what if you have two dogs how do you monitor their intake?
This would work 4 snack time n my house; we have 5 doggies. They all eat like a horse. U know how much kibble, I'd have to put in that towel.😂
That's what I was thinking, too! I have Rottweilers... that tiny bit of kibble is nothing for them!
Maybe a better approach for you would be hiding it all over the yard.
Great Ideas, but I don't feed dry kibble. I DO. however, use a Kong for half of his meals. It definitely slows him down and gives me some added time for myself.
The towel trick won't work with my dog because she would eat the towel (or at least chew it to bits). She does that even when there isn't food in it.
You can also put like really smelly food in with the table in the muffin tins so that way your dog will probably be able to smell it better.
I feed my Jack Russell off the dining room table she loves it. Seriously though I feed her from a bowl but she never gets bored as we have a rat problem in the garden of our high-rise and we go downstairs every evening she loves catching them. She caught a huge one two days ago and that's where we're we're going right now.
these examples really only work for kibble food... please, some puzzle or other enrichment suggestions for feeding whole raw with broth or other liquids!
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now...
Can't really do this if you feed your dog raw even if it a good idea
My puppy eats his raw food off a sniffle mat ! Won’t eat off a plate or bowl! Because he was a street dog out side eating trash ! But now have trained him not to eat garbage 🗑️! The mat is the only way he eats his food! It’s washed out after eating!
For a greater challenge: hide the toys with the dogs breakfast in them around the house before you leave for work. That will definitly keep them busy a while.
I don't think encouraging them to tare up the house is such a great idea.

I orded Domino's Pizza. I ate half and close the box, put it neatly on the kitchen table. 30 mins later when I came out from my room the dog managed to push the pizza box onto the floor and brought pieces unto the couch where it was enjoying it slowly. I accidently made a puzzle box for him. 😅
The trick is, your dog love to "solve" the puzzle when you are not around.😂😂
My dog is too respectful for that. He will never eat anything unless I give it to him. I can leave my dinner on my computer table next to my bed, and he is in there in the bed with me. I can get up to get a drink or go to the bathroom and trust that he will leave it alone.
Love the idea to slow down eating but we feed our boy fresh cooked food. yes it is time consuming but he is worth it! the only thing i can figure our is to take a big dish and and smear it around thinly. still need to figure out a good way. He also has a habit of sitting at the kitchen table when he wants to eat....silly boy...we use to go to a restaurant in Cambodia and they would serve him at the table...guess that is where he picked it up...thanks for your vids, love them!
When it came to food, our old girl as like Fat Bastard when he first saw MiniMe. Any puzzle toy with food in it would be in pieces in minutes.
But she was never aggressive to humans or other dogs. As with humans, inherently nice dogs will behave nicely, no matter the feeding methods. While upbringing can make a huge difference, s with kids, some dogs are usually little angels while others are troublemakers.
Many people now realize that kibble is not the real food we've been led to believe it is and feed actual food, which would not work with these ideas.
What do you suggest if you home cook or feed raw? Apart from kongs a lot of food toys wouldn't work .
I'm here looking for the same thing - a Kong alternative for wet/raw food.
Raw food is not good for a passive voice is there any puzzle toys for raw food thank you
What if you're feeding your dog raw meat?
BOTH end up exhausted your dog for having to chase its food; you for having to clean all over.
How do you do that if you have fresh food
Only works if you give them dry food. However, that's not good for their health.
Love your advice but what if your dog can destroy even the toughest toys within minutes??
I used to buy my horse tricky/licky toys...he was clever...opened his mouth and just smashed these expensive "toys" to pieces. So a treat that should have lasted at least 3 days...gone in 30 seconds.
Then don’t get a container one I guess? 😂😅 Maybe something like a lickmat or snuff mat may work better?? They don’t have to destroy anything to get to the good stuff just lick away at what’s already there
Get him a Rubiks cube that opens up to food when it is solved.
Hhmmmm interesting but our dogs dinner consists of a mixture of dry biscuit and jelly meat
Where getting a new puppy so you help us so much
What about there old tray😅
The first one works well unless you have a funny pup who likes to pick things up and shake them back and forth! 🤣🤣🤣
I do the training trick with my pups for their breakfast because it’s wet food (thawed frozen, raw food) and because that’s how we’ve done it since they were 10 weeks old.
The scavenger hunt method won’t work if you have multiple dogs either. 😉😆

@@DavidGreg-wm3ke 🫤 God blesses me daily and abundantly, thank you. I pray He does the same for you and yours.
I am Vietnamese American, born here to a Vietnam veteran and a Vietnamese woman. I’ve always lived in the USA.
@@Thi-Nguyen Thanks for replying back to my comment, Well It sounds like you have a rich cultural background with ties to both Vietnam and the USA. That must offer a unique perspective on things.
@@Thi-Nguyen So tell me how was your day, i mean how did you spent your day?
@@DavidGreg-wm3ke I spent it dealing with a migraine episode.
Listen some dogs do need to be fed in just a bowl , you dont know OUR dogs or not
I'm 9 and my mum said she will get me a dog but I need to get older and matureeee!
How old should a pup be when you use puzzle toys?
My dog can’t eat kibble.
Feeding his dog like this "for years now" couldn't be that his dog just grew up and matured, could it?
Did your dog tell you about these?
No no no no !!!!!
Not sure I agree. If your dog has plenty of exercise, training & fun times with you there's not much need to keep them amused with toys.
Perhaps, but a majority of their training would involve getting food as a reward. That's what gets them to go the extra mile.
It's just a crazy way to feed a dog. Rather feed them from a bowl and let them enjoy their meals.
DO YOU MEAN FOOD OR TREATS...BECAUSE I FOUND THAT CHICKEN CHUNKS AND STEAK 'N' GRAVY AND VEGETABLES AND PEANUT BUTTER JUST DIDN'T COME OUT THE HOLES...HA HA HA HA
I can't get my dog to eat dog food food, she. Likes lunch meat.what do I do.
I love dogs but I don't have a dog
Squeak! What was that? It didn't sound like a dog toy.
This video should be called tips for lazy pet parents.
Yeah please DO NOT feed them every single day by making them “work” for their dinner or for training all the time. I mean do YOU want to be made to do a task or a trick before you can eat? Why make your dog work for his whole meal? If you’re training and not wanting to add too many calories maybe feed them a bit smaller of a dinner, and then use treats for training.
Do not put your emotions on a dog..they actually LOVE working for treats and food! Gives them something to actively do, which they really need as a house pet..they won’t need it if they have a job to do however. They just love working and doing stuff! I may not but my dog loves doing things I hate 😂 I don’t really like getting up an walking but my dog adores walks which motivates me to get up and do some exercise with her.

I think my dog would starve to death. I have a ball and use it to give her treats. Meals are meals and mine only eats chicken and white rice as she has HGE, not suitable for dog toys or towels.
0:13 How? Your hand?
Its a silky video really. My dogs eat mostly neat, eggs and fish.
why is it recomendable for dogs not to eat in a food bowl?
For youtube views.
Don't agree with any of this.
These things are OK if you are just going shopping or next door for a coffee so the dog has something to keep him/her occupied without fretting.
Why are you feeding dogs kibble- Is it not bad for them - mostly made of fillers ?!?
Most of the dry food is poorly made n has little real nutritional value - Should b avoided !!
You want me to put a whole bowl of food in a puzzle toy??? Cmon... this is lame....
It looks like a good way to torture you poor dog.
if your dog is so bored you have to amuse it with puzzles then you may need to rethink whether owning a dog is right for you. They need walks, they need to run, smell nature, swim and interact with both other dogs and humans.
Please do not resort to this half arsed idea.
It's not always that. My dog has food allergies. Unfortunately, hypoallergenic kibble is not super tasty. Making mealtime more fun really helps with that.
Um no my dog is getting very bored being “fed” he wants to scavenge. You are sadly misguided.
And he gets tonnes of other activities. Running, swimming, walks, sniffs, training, playing with other dogs.
