How to Use a Buster Cube to Mentally Exercise Your Dog

Introduction

Dogs spend a lot of time without their owners. As we go off to work, our dogs spend the day waiting for us to come home. There are some great toys that keep your dog occupied. One of the best is a Buster Cube. It is one of my favorite dog toys and I have used and recommended it for years.

Tips & Warnings:

Put your dog's breakfast or dinner in the Buster Cube.
Put some treats in the cube with your dog's food. This really keeps your dog interested in playing with the cube.
Use the Buster Cube when you are going to be away from your dog for a while.

Step1

Buster cubes are great because you can keep your dog busy doing an enjoyable activity when you are not there. I like to put my dog's breakfast in the cube when I am going to have a busy day.

Step2

The Buster Cube has a hole on one side. Pour your dog's food into the cube and shake it up. This way the food filters throughout the cube.

Step3

You can set the cube to make it easy or difficult for your dog to get the food. Start off with an easy setting.

Step4

Put the cube on the floor for your dog. Your dog will smell the food in the cube and start to paw at it and push it with his nose. As your dog starts to push the cube, some of the food will come out. This will keep your dog interested in the cube.

Step5

Once your dog understands the Buster Cube, you can make the setting a little more difficult. This way your dog will be busy for longer and longer times.
