Training treat toys can support short, reward-based games in which dogs learn to touch, search and investigate to find food.

Getting started

Start with a simple behavior such as approaching or gently nudging the toy. Reward success, pause before your dog becomes frustrated, and build difficulty gradually.

Safety and care

Keep sessions short and upbeat. Use tiny portions from the normal daily allowance and select sturdy products suited to your dog's chewing habits.
