Entertaining My Buddy!


This is my dog, Sammy. He is a very loving Maltese that is also very hyper! I have read and read every article I could possible find by searching on the internet to calm down. The biggest factor in a hyper dog seems to be lack of adequate exercise. Since I work Monday through Friday, allowing Sammy to get exercise and interaction is a problem.

One thing that I found to be useful in entertaining dogs and giving them some form of exercise when left alone are toys that dispense or hide treats!

Small Puppy Goody Bone
I recently bought a rubber dog bone that holds two treats on either end of it. When I brought the toy home and loaded it with treats (I chose peanut butter flavored because it would be my favorite if I was a dog), Sammy entertained himself for a good hour to two hours trying to figure out how to dislodge the treats from the dog bone. So at least now, he will be able to entertain himself and exercise while playing with the bone and trying to figure out how to get the peanut butter treat held inside!
