In a buster cube, you can open the hole and fill the cube with dry dog food, then adjust it to spill out a lot or just a few pieces of food each time the dog knocks the cube over.

When you first introduce the dog to the cube, you can have it wide open so the dog gets a lot of reinforcement for knocking this around. Later, when he knows that goodies come out of it, you can adjust it so fewer treats come out of it. This will keep dogs occupied for hours on end, especially those that are very fond of food.

Chew toys

Chew toys are very necessary for puppies, especially when they are teething. They also needed to help teach the puppy what is right and what is wrong for to chew on. You need to be able to take away your things and hand him something he is allowed to and wants to chew on.

Don’t give your pup anything to chew on that you won’t want him to be chewing on later. If you give him an old shoe to play with, he’ll think chewing shoes is permissible. You don’t want him to chew your new shoes, do you?

Rawhide chews
