Taking care of a pet is a big responsibility. We need to think about his needs with regard to health and nutrition, but also with respect to the need for exercise, new experiences and play.
If yours dog is very curious, you could try to make a toy special with plywood and plastic bottles. Playing with our dogs is an essential aspect of their well-being.
Here then is a intelligence game that we can try to make by ourselves at home with very cheap and recycled materials. In fact, it is enough to have a few plastic bottles and plywood or recycled wooden planks available to make the rectangular base of the toy and the vertical and horizontal parts of its structure. Without forgetting the croccantini our dog's favorites.
The project is quite simple. It is indeed a question of building a wooden frame in which to insert three ½ liter or 1 and a half liter plastic bottles. The size of the bottles should be proportionate to the size of the dog. The bottles are inserted into a guide around which they rotate when the dog touches them.
The challenge for dogs is rotate the bottles until they turn upside down, to be able to get the prize they contain.
This toy it will stimulate your dog's intelligence and at the same time it will lead him to exploit his instinct to understand how to act to ensure that the crunchies come out of the bottles.
Look at the video with the reactions of dogs in front of this really funny toy.
