SUPPLIES NEEDED:
Safety considerations:
cardboard boxes or plastic jugs
•
• paper (packing paper, paper towel roll, newspaper) • egg containers • balls • paper cups • plastic trays • stuffables • A range of treats and food
If your dog has the habit of eating or trying to eat cardboard or plastic, keep them on a leash or find alternatives to the cardboard and plastic. Also, keep in mind any allergies. Always keep an eye on your dog or cat when doing enrichment activities. Keeping a leash on your dog is a good way to make sure you can safely intervene if something happens.

How to assemble:
Take your cardboard box and some paper, crumble the paper up, and put it in the box. Take some food or treats and throw them in there. Take your egg container and put some treats in it and put some balls on top. You can also fill a box or bag with balls and throw treats in there. You can also take a Kong and fill it with treats, and you can take a paper cup, flip it upside down, and put treats inside it.
Level up:
Behaviors this can help with: • Fast eating • Destruction • Builds confidence
To make it harder, you can put some of the puzzles inside each other. You can also increase the number of puzzles and complexity by adding more paper or Kongs. Or even multiple different boxes filled.
How can this be adopted for other animals: For cats, you can make it smaller, so that it is more size appropriate, along with the proper treats or food for a cat. For a ferret, you can make a giant ball pit and scatter food in it for them.
