Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Hey guys,

Any suggestions of anything mentally stimulating for my husky when im not around? She has full run of the kitchen and garden (very secure) when Im not in.

Thanks!

We give Lola a frozen stuffed Kong to keep her busy. She has to work on getting the "treats" out of it and this can take a while.

Thanks Sarah,

I got her a kong but she didnt seem overly interested and I think it may have given her the runs as shes only a puppy (maybe peanut butter etc is too rich)

What I do is soak some of her kibble in water for a little while until it is a little soft and it expands. Then I put that in the Kong. Next a teaspoon of plain yogurt and a teaspoon of pumpkin. I try to get the pumpkin to cap the hole of the Kong. Then I freeze it. Peanut butter gives Lo the runs too. Especially the Kong peanut butter. I deduct the Kong kibble from her regular diet amount so she is not over-fed.

thanks Sarah,

I will give that one a try! At the moment she has a ball with holes in that she pushes around and little treats fall out... but again... I can only put diced carrots in because treats send her tummy funny. I also always have the radio or TV on in the kitchen, just for company. But wondered what everyone else does as I do not have her crated when shes in alone (there is nothing she can get to) so thought I may have even more options to keep her busy!

now to find the kong.....
