This game is one way to build problem solving skills and provide mental stimulation for your service dog. Great way to teach nose scenting ability too. It can be made simpler by using paper balls, or more difficult using smooth balls or odd objects. You can use all the same objects or different objects and see how your dog reacts. Turn it into a scent discrimintation game by placing a kibble under only one ball and see if he chooses only that ball.
How intelligent is your dog? The more problems he can solve, the more adaptable he will be. Look for our other educational videos and information at www.viassistancedogs.blogspot.com Videos now available for purchase on CD.
