So what to do with the food? Part 4 of 4

If you as the human are still fretting that your dog isn't getting enough food here's some things you can do to enrich your dog's eating experience.

1) Go to amazon and type in interactive dog toys and purchase a feeder for your pup
 
 

2) Don't want to buy a feeder, no problem - go find some boxes
 
 
The above boxes were easy for ubber smart  Gramercy!  Below we tried a harder box.  Gramercy says "No problem".  If you have a nervous/shy/fearful dog always use easy boxes and work up. This is about having fun so, make sure your dog has fun.

 

3) Don't have any boxes, no problem - play find it!  

What I really like about the game of find it is that it's interactive with you. I can guarantee that your dog will love this more than a big bowl of food.
 
 
While dogs like to eat, what I've come to understand is that many of them like a challenge and YOU can help them with this during meal time.

Does all of this take some work - of course it does. But, think of how much happier your dog will be with the simple changes in this series of posts. 

I can guarantee you that your dog won't think you are cheating him or her out of food.  If anything it will be the opposite as your pup will feel better at their ideal weight.  And you've given your pup something that works their brain and they've connected and interacted with you.
