1. Wobble Balance Board
Our Puppies LOVE the wobble board! It’s hilarious to watch them leaping off of it and wrestling on top of it. And the best part is that the wobble board is secretly getting them used to walk on a moving surface. These pups will take to agility teeter with ease!
2. Mini Playground
Did you know puppies think going up and down slides are a blast? They also have fun tunneling under the slide and chewing on the dangling baseball. We’ve had puppy families ask to borrow our mini playground because the puppies love it so much! Our puppies are small, so we really like this little one. If you’re breeding a large breed, you may benefit from one slightly bigger.
3. Sit ‘n Spin
So basic. So classic. So fun. You’ll get a kick out of watching your puppies spin! Like the wobble board, a sit ‘n spin is a fun way to introduce your puppies to moving surfaces.
4. Snuffle Mat
A snuffle mat is an interactive game that encourages puppies to use their noses to find dry kibble. We put a snuffle down once every day or so and let the puppies burn some mental energy. You can make your own snuffle mat using a rubber sink mat and a yard of fleece fabric. We also fill a plastic kiddie pool with plastic water bottles and let our puppies hunt for kibble in there. The pool is fun but becomes dirty much quicker than the snuffle mat, so we use the snuffle mat repeatedly and only use the pool a few times.
