Koda's Dinner Dispenser
 

Koda's become ridiculous in how quickly he gobbles down his kibble, so we thought we'd try a new method of feeding him...Dispensing it to him slowly. This is his first experience with a treat ball, but he seems to be getting the hang of it. At first all he wanted to do was pick it up in his mouth and walk around with it, now he's getting the concept that he needs to nose it around and food will be dispensed for him to eat. Once he got that concept (Within about 5 minutes), I was working on teaching him to keep it within a certain radius because he was dispensing food all over the living room, haha. He knows "pick it up, bring it, and drop it", so I just implemented them in regards to the ball. If it got too far, I told him to pick it up, bring it to a reasonable spot, drop it, and start rolling it around again. :) He's catching on. Anyway...It's obviously slowing his eating down, and I find it rather funny. Thought you guys might like to see him in action. P.S. - Ignore the phone conversation in the background, sorry!

That looks like it works well. Great job!

Looks like he had fun. You should try the Kong Wobbler to my dog loves it

Yep, yep. Dinner and a show! Haha. Like I said, just need to keep working with him on keeping it in a more contained area :)

*Update*


He's learned to keep the Dinner Ball within a certain radius on his own! Don't know how he learned it overnight, randomly..But he did! I love my smart boy :wub: He just picks it up in his mouth and brings it back to the middle of the room again. Watch:

way to go Koda!
