Find It – End Game

In this final stage we have incorporated a toy, specifically a Kong. You do not have to move to this stage if you do not have a toy motivated dog. However, Kongs give us the option of adding food inside of them, which can help both the motivation for the toy and the ability to hide better as food won’t be scattered everywhere. If your dog is toy motivated, a game with the toy, such as tug or fetch, is the perfect reward. If this is your first time moving to a toy, it is ok to takes steps back to remind them that the toy search is the same as the food search. Remember to have fun, and try to utilize this exercise on those cold snowy days coming up for some extra brain and physical work for your dog.
